Over the Brazier by Robert Graves
"Over the Brazier" by Robert Graves is a collection of poems written during the early 20th century, specifically around the time of the First World War. The poems reflect on themes of war, nature, and personal introspection, showcasing Graves's poignant and vivid imagery. The work captures the complexities of life during and after the war, as the poet grapples with the aftermath of conflict. The collection opens with a nostalgic reflection onenvisioned peaceful life post-war, contrasted with the disillusionment faced by Graves and his peers. Each poem conveys varied moods, from the innocence of youth and nostalgia in "The Poet in the Nursery" to the darker, harrowing realities of war found in "The Dying Knight and the Fauns" and "The Morning Before the Battle." The recurring motif of longing for peace amidst chaos underscores the collection, highlighting the emotional turmoil and uncertainty of a generation deeply affected by war.
