Written under the pseudonym "Carolus", Lyrics & Lines is a book of poems written, probably circa 1890 - 1900, as a gift to one he had loved and lost. Love, Humour, Moralisation and the Macabre all come together in a most readable and enjoyable manner. Who he was, when and exactly where he lived and his age at the time he wrote this book are unknown. That he was a modest man can be gleaned from his description of himself as "...a poetaster". Beautifully written; these poems should not only appeal to lovers of poetry but to those who would never normally consider reading verse.
