Refuge

Refuge

by Archibald Lampman

Archibald Lampman's "Refuge" is a collection of poems that explores the complexities of the human condition through the lens of nature. Lampman, known for his evocative descriptions of the Canadian landscape, uses imagery of the natural world to comment on the social and industrial changes of his time. He contrasts the beauty and peace of nature with the harsh realities of urban life, expressing a yearning for a simpler, more authentic existence. The poems in "Refuge" are a testament to Lampman's mastery of language and his keen observation of the world around him. They offer a glimpse into the soul of a nation grappling with modernization and the loss of a traditional way of life.
