| Summary | "Halloween, a Romaunt; with Lays Meditative and Devotional" by A. Cleveland Coxe is a collection of poetry written in the mid-19th century. This work intertwines themes of mortality, spirituality, and reflection, likely inspired by the significance of Halloween as a time for remembrance and contemplation of the departed. The poems appear to delve into the human experience of loss and the connection between the earthly realm and the afterlife, inviting readers to ponder the nature of existence and divine love. The opening of this volume includes a preface where the author shares his reservations about publishing the work initially written during his youth but ultimately decides to share it for the benefit of his readers. The subsequent verses explore haunting sentiments associated with death and an ethereal connection between the living and the spirits, emphasizing themes of love and yearning. Through vivid imagery and meditative narrative, such as the emotions surrounding death and the festivities of Halloween, Coxe invites readers into a reflective space, balancing melancholy with moments of hope and spiritual awakening.
