This review is from: Poetical Works of William Cullen Bryant - Household Edition (Paperback)

This is a classic D. Appleton and Company release of William Cullen Bryant's poems. If you have visited Bond Street in New York City and passed by this formidable publishing house, you will instantly be reminded of an 18th Century necessity of understanding paths. It is very difficult to find original NYC cobblestone streets in NYC. Bryant definitely matched his publisher from the 1800s and his poems are inclusive of the awe to awkening of what is complacently beguiling about a wildnerness that is the US. The methaphors of forests and woods in his poems are truly "olde" English and the tragedy of the lost person and the reader who has not become lost is still omniscent in Bryant's voice. One of his most promissing texts for the 19th century to current is "Receive Thy Sight," not overtly religious, but difficult in Bryant's ability to translate Christ's observance and pervasive registration.
