Roberts, Sir Charles G.D: Earth's Enigmas, v1 23 Aug 2008
Sir Charles G. D. Roberts (1860 - 1943) was a Canadian poet and writer. Roberts was one of the Confederation poets. His most famous works were In Divers Tones (1887) and Songs of the Common Day and Ave! An Ode for the Shelley Centenary (1893). Earth's Enigmas written in 1896 is a collection of short stories.
"Most of the stories in this collection attempt to present one or another of those problems of life or nature to which, as it appears to many of us, there is no adequate solution in sight. Others are the most literal transcript of dreams which seemed to me to have a coherency, completeness, and symbolic significance sufficiently marked to justify me in setting them down. The rest are scenes from simple life of Canadian backwoods and tide-country with which my earlier years made me familiar". Includes: Do Seek their Meat from God The Perdu "The Young Ravens that Call upon Him" Within Sound of the Saws The Butt of the Camp In the Accident Ward The Romance of an Ox-Team A Tragedy of the Tides At the Rough-and-Tumble Landing An Experience of Jabez Batterpole The Stone Dog The Barn on the Marsh Captain Joe and Jamie Strayed The Eye of Gluskâ This work is assumed to be in the Life+70 public domain OR the copyright holder has given specific permission for distribution.
