Experience the beauty of language in A. B. S. Tennyson's 'A Legend of Old Persia and Other Poems'. This collection showcases Tennyson's lyrical talent, exploring themes of love, nature, and the human condition. From the mystical legends of old Persia to the rolling hills of rural England, Tennyson's words transport readers to different worlds and leave them with a sense of wonder and contemplation. Here's an excerpt from one of the featured poems in the collection 'The Song of Kisses': "I have no skill in Love's soft war / Nor am I bold to woo / In the same sort that conquerors are / When they are lovers too."
