Summary "Legends and Lyrics. Part 2" by Adelaide Anne Procter is a collection of poems written during the late 19th century. The work conveys a rich tapestry of themes ranging from love, loss, and longing to faith and redemption, encapsulated within Procter's signature lyrical style. The poems often explore the interplay between the mundane and the spiritual, illustrating the human condition and the quest for deeper meaning amidst life's struggles. The opening of the collection presents a vivid narrative woven into a single legend titled "A Legend of Provence," introducing the character Sister Angela, a young nun. Set against a backdrop of war and personal sacrifice, the tale portrays Angela's dedication to her faith and her role in caring for wounded soldiers. As the story unfolds, readers witness her internal conflict between her calling and the world outside the convent walls, ultimately leading her to a path of personal struggle and redemption. This poignant beginning sets a reflective tone for the poems to follow, suggesting that themes of resilience and the search for solace will permeate the collection.
