| 520 | _aLost city by Kathleen Montgomery Wallace is a collection of lyric poems written in the early 20th century during the World War I era. The book evokes the landscape and spirit of Cambridge and the fens while mourning a beloved lost to war. Its likely topic is the intersection of place, memory, and bereavement, blending pastoral affection with elegy. The poems move from tender portraits of Cambridgeshire’s gentle fields, rivers, courts, and college spires to an intimate grief for one who “lies somewhere in France.” Classical echoes—Styx, Lethe, Arcadia—frame a vow to remember rather than forget. Seasons and city scenes become touchstones: chestnuts in blossom, rooks at dusk, tea by the river, a lamp-lit window now dark. Memory haunts “old roads,” prompting a wish for “new roads” free from ghostly joy, even as love is claimed as unaging and unbroken by death. Home-front moments—an interval at the theatre, winds over London roofs—collide with headlines of losses and the ache of absence. The sequence closes with a fierce tenderness: the world may be rebuilt from wartime soil, but not the carefree, purposeless hours once lived under Cambridge skies.
