Fondes Caducae is a book written by Thomas Churchyard and published in 1816. The book is a collection of poems that explore the theme of mortality and the fleeting nature of life. Churchyard draws inspiration from classical literature and mythology to create a series of elegies, meditations, and epitaphs that reflect on the transience of human existence. The title of the book, Fondes Caducae, translates to ""Fleeting Foundations"" in English, which encapsulates the central theme of the work. The poems are written in a variety of forms, including sonnets, odes, and elegies, and are characterized by their melancholic tone and contemplative style. Churchyard's use of language is rich and evocative, and he employs vivid imagery to convey the fragility and impermanence of life. Fondes Caducae is a thought-provoking and poignant work that explores one of the most fundamental aspects of the human condition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
