Wild Roses and Others


Book Description

Wild Roses You ask for wild roses and I give you the moor. Wild is the moorland, barren and bleak and cold and the trailing, despairing cry of the curlew lingers long in the air ... Clara Mellor In a posthumous collection of poems, Clara Mellor shares a lyrical look into thirty-five years of life as she attempted to balance a need for personal fulfillment with her duties as a wife and mother. Clara knew more than anyone that anguish has the capability of producing its own peculiar note of music. In poems created from alienation, Clara intertwines the beauty found in nature with the thoughts of an independent woman battling conformity, the grey shadows that hover over a world reluctant to awaken to the dull dread of a new day, a whisper that hints God may be dead, the heartbreaking loss of true love, and mans self-indulgence as he turns in fear to those who lead. Wild Roses and Others shares poems that reflect on one womans poignant and liberating journey through the twentieth century as she searched for answersand the truth.

The Wild Roses of Maine


Book Description

Excerpt from The Wild Roses of Maine: And Other Camden Verses AM thinking to-day of the roses By the side of the beautiful bay Each cliff and each pathway adorning, Where of old you and I loved to stray. In the dusk and the starlight we lingered, To list to the whippoorwill's strain, Where the soft air was sweet with the fragrance Of the lovely wild roses of Maine. The birches still shade the old pathway, The moonlight still whitens the shore, Birds and flowers fill with music and beauty The places that know us no more.
