"There! See the line of lights, A chain of stars down either side the street, Why can't you lift the chain and give it to me..." 'A November Night' is a romantic poem by American Lyric poet Sara Teasdale that was first published in 1916. The verses vividly describe the magic and wonder latent in a frosty winter night. The speaker guides us, melodically, though a "line of lights" where everything is capable of inspiring passions in the embers of our hearts. This work presents Sara's dreamy, amorous walk, now visually reimagined. This fully illustrated book brings those exquisite words to life, following the unbroken verses that lead the narrator through an evening where everything is made magical by her romantic mood. Sara Teasdale (1884–1933) was an American lyrical poet whose most popular works today include The Collected Poems (1937), Love Songs (for which she won a Pulitzer Prize in 1918), and Flame and Shadow. Her works have cemented her legacy as a poetical force to be reckoned, inspiring countless artistic projects in the years since her tragic and untimely death by the hand of sleeping pills in 1933.
