Summary

"Ardours and Endurances; Also, A Faun's Holiday & Poems and Phantasies" by Robert Nichols is an anthology of poetry from the early 1900s that explores both the devastation of war and the serenity of nature. Beginning with powerful imagery, Nichols shows the reader the emotional insights of a person experiencing horror and struggling to find their purpose in a world of life and death. These initial poems express a need to escape from prior regrets by using the imagery of the battlefield. As the narrative progresses to "A Faun's Holiday," the pieces shift towards the beauty and joy of nature, highlighting themes of human emotion related to both passion and perseverance, which serve as the foundation for the collection.
