L. Kilner & Co., 1898 N2 - "Prince Ragnal, and other holiday verses" by Eleanor C. Donnelly is a collection of poetry written during the late 19th century. This work encompasses holiday-themed verses and legends, with a focus on Christmas and early Christian traditions. The poems reflect themes of love, redemption, and the spiritual significance of the Christmas season, interwoven with mythic and historical elements that showcase both personal and communal aspects of faith. The titular poem, "Prince Ragnal," tells a poignant story set in ancient Ireland, where a leper prince grapples with his faith and the consequences of his previous pride. As he observes the celebrations of Christmas from a distance, he experiences a miraculous transformation through an encounter that leads him to redemption and reunion with his beloved, Dympna. The collection also features other verses that celebrate the Nativity and invoke the beauty of the season through heartfelt narratives and lyrical expressions. Overall, Donnelly's work blends religious fervor with poetic elegance, inviting readers to reflect on hope, forgiveness, and the joyous spirit of Christmas.
