This early work of poetry is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. It contains a collection of poems by Irish poet and painter George William Russell.

What Russell tells us is not just a depiction of the outlook, but warnings to younger generation to take caution and to realize for themselves that these occurrences are happening in real time, basically detailing reality. Russell also represents each individuals sojourn.
