N2  - "Golden Numbers: A Book of Verse for Youth" by Kate Douglas Wiggin and Nora Archibald Smith is a collection of poetry aimed at young readers, likely compiled in the early 20th century. The anthology is designed to introduce children to a variety of poems that cover themes of nature, seasons, and youth, featuring works from prominent poets such as William Shakespeare, Robert Southey, and John Milton. Through its curated selection, the book seeks to inspire a love for poetry and engage children's imaginations.  The opening of "Golden Numbers" presents an introductory note that addresses the value of poetry and the beauty of its language while setting the stage for the themes explored in the collection. It emphasizes the importance of nurturing a love for poetry, capturing how poets interpret the mysteries and wonders of the world through their art. The section introduces "A Chanted Calendar," which highlights the beauty of each season through various verses, invoking vivid imagery that illustrates the transition throughout the year and encourages an appreciation for Nature's artistry.
