This volume is like a pipe organ that is played with all its stops pulled out. There is something here for everyone. If you wish to visit a paradise, read Journey to Bliss. If its antipode enchants you, The Voice of Despair offers you enough fire and brimstone to last a lifetime. Classical scholars will find an English sonnet in perfect form. Oriental scholars will enjoy poems inspired by Sanskrit and Chinese calligraphy. Love is a prominent theme. By these poems the author won the heart of a lovely wife. But if you really don’t think that love is a good idea, Two Sisters and a Rose will mirror your sentiments in a charmingly playful manner. The author draws his ideas from many different cultures, reflecting travels he has made either in person or in his imagination. Even Atlantis has made a posthumous visit to the world scene.
