Lovers speak in imagined voices of Indian men and women. Gardens, courtyards, rivers, and camps under a hot sky frame their feelings. Love brings almost reckless devotion, while absence leaves questions about where a beloved is now.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLaurence Hope is the pen name of Adela Florence Nicolson, an Englishwoman who lived in British India. Her poems bring passion and loss into strong rhythms, rhyme, and songlike refrains. These are highly colored visions, not a realistic portrait of India. Read them with an ear for their music and an awareness of the voices the poet chooses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInside this book\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLove without restraint\u003c\/strong\u003e – Meet speakers whose devotion gives passion the force of an all-consuming fire.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe ache of absence\u003c\/strong\u003e – Follow the questions that remain when a loved person is no longer near.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGardens beneath hot skies\u003c\/strong\u003e – Enter gardens, courtyards, rivers, and camps where vivid settings frame intense feeling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVerse with a pulse\u003c\/strong\u003e – Hear strong rhythms, rhymes, and repeated sounds gather into the movement of song.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA poet's imagined voices\u003c\/strong\u003e – Explore how Hope speaks through lovers while keeping her perspective in view.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerfect for readers who love romantic, musical verse and the mood of the Edwardian age, with feeling in full color.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOpen the first page now, and let the rhythm lead you into these poems of love and longing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Library of Alexandria Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59534607450460,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1027\/9442\/8764\/files\/03516_en_ebook-front_c04.jpg?v=1792174951","url":"https:\/\/libraryofalexandria.com\/sv\/products\/indias-love-lyrics","provider":"The Library of Alexandria","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
