A silver pool by Beulah Field
QR code
"A silver pool by Beulah Field" is a collection of lyric poems written in the early 20th century. The book contemplates love, loss, spiritual yearning, and the artist’s vocation, using luminous natural imagery and intimate, introspective voices to explore how pain is transmuted into beauty. The collection opens with a self-portrait of inspiration—a poised soul and a heart made a “silver pool”—then moves through scenes of marketplaces and carnivals, wanderers and lovers,
sea winds and desert tents, to weigh the worth of authenticity against show and fame’s mirage. Voices speak from exile and devotion, from a courtesan longing for the desert’s purity, from a rebel marked by tropical splendor and peril, and from the wayfarer who hears only wind, stars, and dawn. Recurring motifs—fire and water, moon and dawn, glass and jewels, gardens and home—frame meditations on fate, identity, and faith: grief is burned to ash and found again as a hidden gem; love stands as watch-fire and sacrament; death is challenged by continuity in nature and song. Tender addresses to a father, to June, and to a child promise to turn scars into pearls and broken songs into a bright strand, closing the book on resilience, reverence, and hard-won peace.
