Synopsis
Excerpt from Poems From John O'groat's
Of late years a new school of poetry - a complete antithesis of the old - has sprung up, of which the distinguishing characteristics are extreme intensity of language, Ossianic metaphor, isolated brilliancy, and abstruse metaphysical disquisition on all sorts of sub jects sacred and profane. In juxtaposition with the transcendental effusions of this school, the Author of this small volume is aware, that his rhymes will appear tame and trivia], but he believes they will have one merit at least - they will be intelligible.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a legendary poem set in the landscape of the far north of Scotland during a bygone era rich with superstition and ancient lore. The story follows Frank Oswald, an avaricious young man who encounters a mysterious mermaid during his wanderings along the coast. The mermaid tempts him with promises of unimaginable wealth beneath the sea but demands his love in return, binding him to her with a golden chain. As Frank is lured deeper into the mermaid's magical underwater kingdom, the author explores themes of greed, enchantment, and the human capacity for both good and evil. The book presents a vivid and immersive depiction of Scottish folklore, with its cast of mythical creatures and tales of adventure on both land and sea, while delving into the timeless struggle between desire and consequence that continues to resonate with readers today.
