Summary

"By Still Waters: Lyrical Poems Old and New" by George William Russell is a collection that journeys into the heart of nature, spirituality, and human feelings through lyrical poems. The verses explore broad themes of life and connect the mystical and everyday parts of living, using strong images and poetic language. The poems dive into creation, love, personal thoughts, and the world around us, prompting readers to think about their own feelings and experiences. Each poem looks closely at what it means to be alive, bringing in mythology and spiritual ideas to create complex thoughts and emotions. The reader is asked to think carefully about universal ideas such as beauty, loss, and the search for meaning in both the natural world and something greater than themselves.
