Beschreibung

The poems comprising this volume have appeared from time to time in the magazine published in connection with the church-St. Barnabas, Pimlico-of which Mr. Gurney was vicar. They are, therefore, devotional in character. They are also, in some degree, symbolical and mystical. Mr. Gurney has evidently been a good deal under the influence of that earlier phase of Rossetti's art-both in printing and poetry-which dallied with spiritual mysteries, and sought to give them a visible embodiment. The author comes somewhat late as a disciple of the revival of mediaeval feeling, which began in this country forty yoars ago; but ho has the distinction of being more attracted by the spiritual than by the aesthetic side of that revival.
