William Collins - 356 / 365 of reading one short story every day.



William Collins


English poet William Collins was famous for classical odes and elegies during the 1730s to 1740s.


Odes on Several Descriptive and Allegoric Subjects.


William Collins's Odes on Several Descriptive and Allegoric Subjects (1747), displays great technical ingenuity, rich imagery and a resonant insistence on the imagination and the passions as poetry's true realm. The odes also mine vigorously the potentiality of personification as a medium for poetic expression.
