Summary "The Veil, and Other Poems" by Walter De la Mare is a collection of poetry written in the early 20th century. This anthology showcases the author's exploration of themes such as nature, the supernatural, and human emotion, reflecting De la Mare's lyrical style and rich imagination. The poems often present a dreamlike quality, inviting readers into a world filled with imagery that balances between the mundane and the ethereal. In this collection, De la Mare weaves together a tapestry of introspective and contemplative poems, each depicting various aspects of life, love, and nature. The titular poem, "The Veil," contemplates the beauty of a masked lady and the symbolism of concealment. Other poems include vivid portrayals of natural scenes, such as the melancholic encounter of an old angler with a naïad in "The Old Angler" and the magic of a fairy in "The Fairy in Winter." Through his whimsical and often reflective language, De la Mare captures a sense of longing and beauty in the human experience, inviting readers to ponder deeper truths amidst the enchantment of life.
