Omschrijving

The poetry of Sir John Davies is the answer to a question we haven't even known to ask. But asking and answering that question is critical to regaining a proper understanding of who we are, truly, according to the fixed boundaries of Creation, and not our own delusions. We have, in the two great poems of Sir John Davies, a poetry of true meaning, telling us not only who we are but how we know as well. And the timing couldn't be better.

Often overshadowed by the work of his more famous contemporaries, Spenser and Shakespeare, Davies' poetry of meaning is due for a revival. His is a voice desperately needed in the midst of our current intellectual malaise. A new generation is rising, searching for answers, desperate to understand the cosmic coherence they intuitively feel. Lied to by our own modern-day poets and lyricists, it is high time we return to the voices of sanity, the poets who took seriously and believed implicitly the first words of Scripture: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."

"Those who look up into the heavens and hear the sweet music of the spheres, who look out and recognize the timpani of the undulating sea, the woodwinds of the forest glades, the flutes of all the birds in the air, and the triumphant brass of every sunrise, will hear order and glimpse the eternal Beauty that satisfies every longing of the soul. For in this they will have tasted the Composer's love, Who with His music has made all the world to DANCE."
