As an introduction to Jonathan Swift this probably was not the route I should have taken, apparently not as highly regarded for his verse then his other work (I do have some of his satire which I looking forward to reading). However this selection of poems was a pleasurable read; his poems to Stella particularly interesting for their content especially since the ones selected were across the years and showed how Jonathan's self feelings became more cynical.

'Description of a city shower' I liked and 'Lines' which Swift annotates was written on a window. This selection is but a small taste but has urged me to explore his work further. ( )
