Sonnets

Unknown Author

4.9/5 (22171 ratings)

Description:The sonnets, sometimes mannered, archaisms an integral part of their language, are not lacking in ardour and grace. Cresswell's disposition easily led him, without self-conscious straining after the effect, to a partiality for the poetic conceit. As in his works of prose, so in his sonnets he achieved something that might be defined as the Cresswellian flavour. This taste of the ironic dominates to a much lesser degree, though, over the sonnets where the perennial value is apparent not in the first place in an individuality stridently proclaimed, but rather in the quality of purity, summarised by his line "...sweet sonnets got from grievings sour".Cresswell's sonnets seem old today—by virtue of the very form itself, a path well worn, often so honourably followed, a form with the mature age of several centuries. Yet his sonnets paradoxically may revive, into fresh youthfulness, as they recede further into the infancy of New Zealand's waking literature. Their roots, I think, go down to the past of English poetry, to that source of nourshing marvels with which Walter D'Arcy Cresswell had lasting affinities.— Helen ShawWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
