Description:Excerpt from Melodies Meditations: A Collection of Songs, Poems, Philosophical Verse, and Cantatas It is some considerable time since Mr. McGlashan sent me his "Philosophical Thoughts in Sonnets." I was much struck with them. The remembrance of Alfred Domett's efforts in "Ranolf and Amohia" to philosophise in verse was at once recalled. There has, so far as I know, been in New Zealand no other attempt to state the problems of philosophy in verse. We have had many poets, but they have dwelt on our scenery or on the dreams of life as seen in our midst. It will be learned from a perusal of the Sonnets, and the poem "Life," that the position of the poet is that of the Neo-Hegelian School; and they crystallise that philosophical position. That such Sonnets should have been written in our midst is, I think, a cheering sign. We need not merely descriptive writers, or recorders of events; we require thinkers. The problems of the universe are open to us, and why should we not cogitate on them, even if a solution at present seems impossible? May the Sonnets make us think of the problems of existence. Mr. McGlashan's fame does not rest on his philosophical Sonnets. He has written many songs and many poems. Some of his songs appear in the ancient language that once held sway from the Humber to the Tay. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
