Quiet War Scenes: Poems and Translations is a book of poetry written and translated by James Baker and published in 1879. The collection features poems that explore the themes of war and conflict, often in a quiet and reflective manner. The poems range in style from traditional sonnets to free verse, and many are accompanied by translations of works by other poets, including Victor Hugo and Heinrich Heine. The book is divided into several sections, each focusing on a different aspect of war, such as the experience of soldiers on the battlefield, the impact of war on families and loved ones, and the aftermath of conflict. Throughout the collection, Baker uses vivid imagery and powerful language to convey the emotional and psychological toll of war, as well as the resilience and strength of those who endure it. Quiet War Scenes is a poignant and thought-provoking work that offers a unique perspective on the human cost of war.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
