| Summary |
"Poems of Arthur Hugh Clough" by Arthur Hugh Clough is a collection of poetry written in the mid-19th century. This anthology showcases Clough's explorations of themes such as nature, love, duty, religion, and the human condition through richly layered verse. Readers can expect a blend of personal reflection with broader philosophical and moral inquiries, mirroring Clough's own introspective style. The opening of this collection introduces several early poems that reflect Clough's profound engagement with the world around him. In "An Evening Walk in Spring," the poet contemplates the beauty of nature and the contrasting turmoil within his heart, recognizing a disconnect between external beauty and internal struggle. Similarly, "An Incident" captures a brief encounter that evokes feelings of tenderness amidst the harsh realities of urban life. These initial verses set the tone for Clough's inquiry into the relationship between personal emotions and the surrounding environment, revealing his depth of empathy and philosophical questioning right from the outset.
