The Carnival Of Death

""The Carnival of Death"" is a poem written in two cantos by Thomas Bailey, originally published in 1822. The poem is a dark and haunting exploration of the theme of death, personified as a carnival that comes to town. The first canto describes the arrival of the carnival and the various macabre attractions that it offers, including a dance of skeletons, a parade of ghosts, and a visit to the underworld. The second canto delves deeper into the psychology of death, exploring the fear and fascination that it inspires in human beings. The poem is written in a Gothic style, with vivid imagery and a somber tone that creates a sense of foreboding and unease. Overall, ""The Carnival of Death"" is a powerful meditation on the nature of mortality and the human condition, offering a unique perspective on a universal theme.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
