""Footsteps of Proserpine: And Other Verses and Interludes"" is a collection of poems and short pieces by Henry Newman Howard, first published in 1897. The title poem, ""Footsteps of Proserpine"", is a haunting meditation on the descent of the goddess Proserpine into the underworld, drawing on classical mythology to explore themes of loss, grief, and the passage of time. Other poems in the collection range from lyrical love songs to playful satires, and are united by Howard's keen eye for detail and his gift for vivid, musical language. The interludes, which include prose pieces and dialogues, provide a further glimpse into Howard's wide-ranging interests and talents. Throughout the book, Howard's writing is marked by a deep sensitivity to the beauty and complexity of the world around him, and a profound engagement with the human experience.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
