Product Description

Psalm 19:1 reads, "The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands." God displays his power in the immensity, complexity, and beauty of his creation. Thomas Traherne, in his Centuries of Meditations, showcases his deep love for God's creative powers. The poetry in Centuries has a childlike humility in the face of God's glory. While living at a time where God's wrath and humanity's sin were the main topics of theological conversation, Traherne writes poetry that looks at the beauty of God and his goodness. His poetry is not just good Christian poetry, but good poetry that is appreciated by Christian and secular poetry lovers alike.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Review is For the Dobel Edition!, December 5, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
WARNING! Amazon sticks reviews for one edition of a book under other editions. Presenting a review of the Dobel edition paperback as a review of the butchered OCR paperback edition amounts to outright lying on the part of Amazon! The Dobel edition published by Cosimoclassics (with the picture of the statue of an angel on the front) is a good edition. The unedited OCR edition is not. Unfortunately, Amazon will not allow me to review both editions! Nor do they give the publisher of the books. Don't accept anything that you would not have bought if you had looked at it in a bookstore. If you get a poorer edition than you ordered, return it and demand a full refund for the cost of the book and shipping both ways!

The text itself is good beyond my ability to describe. Traherne is a poet (although his meditations here are written as prose), a deep thinker, and a devout Christian.

WARNING: The Dobel edition may also be availabe in an OCR! The buyer must beware these days when ording books from Amazon.

A further warning: Amazon pictures accompanying a review may not be of the edition reviewed!

Your enjoyment of the world is never right, till every morning you awake in Heaven; see yourself in your Fathers Palace; and look upon the skies, the earth, and the air as Celestial Joys: having such a reverend esteem of all, as if you were among the Angels. &quote;

You never enjoy the world aright, till the Sea itself floweth in your veins, till you are clothed with the heavens, and crowned with the stars: and perceive yourself to be the sole heir of the whole world, and more than so, because men are in it who are every one sole heirs as well as you. Till you can sing and rejoice and delight in God, as misers do in gold, and Kings in sceptres, you never enjoy the world. &quote;
