"XXXII Ballades in Blue China [1885]" by Andrew Lang is a compilation of thirty-two ballades from the Victorian period that show Lang's skill with rhyme and rhythm. The poems express themes like nostalgia, a love for nature, the follies of humans, philosophical thoughts, and some satire. With each poem standing alone, the reader sees the author's diverse interests, from Cleopatra's Needle, to the humor behind the game of roulette. Balanced with lighthearted moments, the reader contemplates life lessons of finding joy in simple things.
