Description

The Poems of Anne BradstreetA real sense of calm pervades Bradstreets poetry. She has genuine affection for the things she writes about, whether that be family, or the vistas of nature, or her husband, or the pleasant things lost in the house fire, and so in no way does she come across as a pinched ascetic. But neither does she come across as someone who is in frantic pursuit of worldly goods. ~From Douglas Wilsons Introduction Look Inside the Book Anne Bradstreet came to fame

“A real sense of calm pervades Bradstreet’s poetry. She has genuine affection for the things she writes about, whether that be family, or the vistas of nature, or her husband, or the “pleasant things” lost in the house fire, and so in no way does she come across as a pinched ascetic. But neither does she come across as someone who is in frantic pursuit of worldly goods.” ~From Douglas Wilson’s Introduction

Look Inside the Book

Anne Bradstreet came to fame when someone published her poetry as The Tenth Muse Lately Sprung Up in America. Anne Bradstreet was a Puritan who had crossed the ocean to help found the new colony in America. She lived on the frontier and lived a fairly uneventful life loving her husband and children. However, she was also a well-educated and imaginative woman whose poetry continues to be admired to this day. This collection of her poems is a forgotten classic that we would be well advised to read.

“Here follow some verses upon the burning of our house, July 10th, 1666. Copied out of a loose paper.”

In silent night, when rest I took,
For sorrow near I did not look.
I wakened was with thundering noise
And piteous shrieks of dreadful voice.
That fearful sound of “Fire!” and “Fire!”
Let no man know, is my desire.

I, starting up, the light did spy,
And to my God my heart did cry
To strengthen me in my distress,
And not to leave me succorless;
Then coming out, beheld apace
The flame consume my dwelling-place.

And when I could no longer look
I blest his name that gave and took,
That laid my goods now in the dust;
Yea, so it was, and so ’twas just—
It was his own; it was not mine.
Far be it that I should repine.
He might of all justly bereft,
But yet sufficient for us left.
When by the ruins oft I passed
My sorrowing eyes aside did cast,
And here and there the places spy
Where oft I sat, and long did lie.

Here stood that trunk, and there that chest;
There lay that store I counted best;
My pleasant things in ashes lie,
And them behold no more shall I.
Under thy roof no guest shall sit,
Nor at thy table eat a bit;

No pleasant tale shall e’er be told,
Nor things recounted done of old;
No candle e’er shall shine in thee,
Nor bridegroom’s voice e’er heard shall be.
In silence ever shalt thou lie.
Adieu, adieu; all’s vanity.

Then straight I ’gan my heart to chide:
And did thy wealth on earth abide?
Didst fix thy hope on mouldering dust,
The arm of flesh didst make thy trust?
Raise up thy thoughts above the sky,
That dunghill mists away may fly.

Thou hast an house on high erect;
Framed by that mighty Architect,
With glory richly furnished,
Stands permanent though this be fled.
It’s purchaséd, and paid for, too,
By Him who hath enough to do—
A price so vast as is unknown,
Yet, by his gift, is made thine own.
There’s wealth enough; I need no more.
Farewell, my pelf; farewell, my store;
The world no longer let me love.
My hope and treasure lie above.

Great front pocket wallet.
Material Type: Leather, Color: Coffee-4338
This Wallet is great. It took some getting used to having the cards all in one slot, but since they pop up in a stair-step design as long as you keep your cards in the same order you’ll always reach for the right one. Materials are high quality and it feels good in the hand. I really like the look and weight of this wallet as well. I will likely purchase these as gifts for the other men in my life.

For the Back Pocket Carrier out there....
Material Type: Leather, Color: Forest Brown-4337
I think this wallet is awesome! I've been carrying for about a week and it is working out great. I usually don't carry cash but for the last week, I've actually had a little cash on me. Instead of using the clip on the back (that clip is pretty tight and I don't like the look of having cash there), I just put is under the ID flap and the magnetic closure holds it in place. I love the color, the trigger works great, and the cards are held securely even when it isn't completely full. I also like the size. It requires me to carry less, which is something I need. (I realized two weeks ago that I had been carrying an old debit card in my old wallet around that had expired in 2023 and it turned out that I didn't have an account at that bank! hahahahahaha. I must be getting old.). This is important to me: I carry a wallet in my back pocket. I always have and that is what is comfortable to me. Front pocket carry feels weird to me. I've been carrying this wallet in my back pocket and sitting on it with no issues. I'm a big guy (300 lbs) and, so far, it's held up great. In all honesty, I do take it out of my pocket and put it in my console when I drive, but that's it. Everywhere else I go, and sit, it stays in my back pocket. I know it's only been a week, but I'm glad to see that I haven't crushed it, or deformed it, or anything. Ultimately, it's been great and I'm glad I got this one.
