5.0 out of 5 stars an anthology of sweetness and love, October 12, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: One Hundred and One Classic Love Poems (Hardcover)

This anthology is alluring in every way. Each poem has a distinctive effect, especially when they are read aloud. This book is most enchanting when read from cover to cover. There are nuances in each poem that mingle with the romantic sensibilities. Even though the poems are aged and classic, the collection seems fresh and untouched. It is truly a remarkable anthology, and necessary for anyone with even the smallest amount of tenderness. Passionately reccomended.
