The Call of the Mountains, and Other Poems by James E. Pickering
"The Call of the Mountains, and Other Poems" by James E. Pickering is a collection of poetry written in the early 20th century. This book explores various themes, including nature, love, mortality, and the passage of time, reflecting the influences of Romanticism and early modernist thought. The poems traverse a range of subjects, from the majestic appeal of the Swiss mountains to contemplations on human existence and emotions. The collection opens with
the titular poem that celebrates the allure and mystique of the mountains, portraying them both as a source of inspiration and a symbol of the transcendent. Other poems delve into personal experiences and reflections, such as the haunting memories of an old manor house or the quiet contemplation of winter's arrival. Pickering's work is marked by rich imagery and emotional depth, inviting the reader to explore the intricate connections between the natural world and human experience. Throughout, there is a poignant awareness of the passage of time, as seen in the verses that evoke nostalgia and the transient nature of life and beauty. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
