A SHROPSHIRE LAD

by A. E. Housman ‧ RELEASE DATE: April 1, 1968

Interspersed among the poems are fourteen full-page ink drawings, somewhat heavy in style and somber in mood. Several show couples in various states of decorous affection and one unfortunate efflorescence is literally that: accompanying ""The rose-lipt girls are sleeping/ In fields where roses fade"" is a rose bush apparently sprouting heavy-lidded heads. They do have a fin de siecle steaminess, maybe too much.
