Trust me, these symptoms of thy faithful heart, In absence shall my dearest hope sustain, Delia! since such thy sorrow that we part, Such when we meet thy joy shall be again. Hard is that heart and unsubdued by love That feels no pain, nor ever heaves a sigh; Such hearts the fiercest passions only prove, Or freeze in cold insensibility. Oh ! then indulge thy grief, nor fear to tellThe gentle source from whence thy sorrows flow;Nor think it weakness when we love to feel, Nor think it weakness what we feel to show. Hope, like the short-lived ray that gleams awhile Through wintry skies, upon the frozen waste, Cheers e'en the face of misery to a smile ; But soon the momentary pleasure's past. How oft, my Delia, since our last farewell,(Years that have roll'd since that distressful hour,)Grieved I have said, when most our hopes prevail, Our promised happiness is least secure. Oft I have thought the scene of troubles closed, And hoped once more to gaze upon your charms; As oft some dire mischance has interposed,And snatch'd the' expected blessing from my arms. The seaman thus, his shatter'd vessel lost,Still vainly strives to shun t... ... Read more

Product Description
The letters of William Cowper (1731-1800) are renowned for their seemingly effortless spontaneity, intimacy, and delicacy.William Blake said of them, "Certainly, the very best letters that ever were published."This book selects letters from every part of his life and give insight into the workings of his suicidal mind, desolate in its conviction of total abandonment by God.As a whole, the letters reveal Cowper's extraordinary skill as a writer of letters, his personality in all its guises, his deep-seated commitment to friendship, his fine critical sensiblility, and his interest in landscape, gardens, pets, and ordinary village lives and events.All the letters are printed in complete form, following the texts of the editors' acclaimed five-volume edition. ...
