Summary

"Path Flower, and Other Verses" by Olive Tilford Dargan is a compilation of poems from the early 1900s that expresses the wonder of love, the loveliness of nature and the intricacies of being human. The thoughtful poems use striking images and passionate language. Some poems hold personal meditations, while others explore social issues, always trying to capture what it means to be alive. One featured poem tells of an encounter with a spring-like girl that generates thoughts about innocence, difficulties, and the quickness of beauty. Other verses give strong observations about appreciating what you have, the fight for freedom and rising up against unfairness. Dargan's method of writing uses rich expressions that makes the reader think deeply about commonplace actions, while drawing a link between private sentiments and the experiences of everyone.
