The Three Hills, and Other Poems

"The Three Hills, and Other Poems by Sir John Collings Squire and Charles Baudelaire" is a collection that brings together original English poems alongside translated pieces from a French poet. The poems explore big ideas about what it means to be human, the wonder of the world around us, and thinking deeply about our place in the universe. Squire's own poems often look at how we connect with nature, thinking about time passing, the beauty we see, and feeling alone. The translated works add emotions of sadness and longing as they deal with loss, wanting things we can't have, and how quickly life goes by. The collection shows two different ways of writing poetry that come together to make us think about how life and art are connected.
