Overview

""Ideals in Verse"" is a contemplative collection of poetry authored by Cornelius Cole, a distinguished American statesman and United States Senator.

The verses delve into themes of patriotism, nature, morality, and the human condition, offering readers a glimpse into the intellectual and spiritual life of a man who witnessed the transformative era from the pre-Civil War period through the early 20th century. The collection is marked by its traditional meter and evocative imagery, characteristic of the literary style of his generation. Cole's work emphasizes the importance of personal integrity and the enduring beauty of the natural world. From reflections on political duty to quiet meditations on the passage of time, ""Ideals in Verse"" stands as a significant cultural artifact of early 20th-century American literature.
