Description
Verses on Various Occasions is a collection of poems written by John Henry Newman between 1818 and 1865. This period of Newmanโs ecclesiastical career saw his ordination as an Anglican priest in 1825, his involvement in the High Church โOxford Movementโ in the 1830s, his conversion to Roman Catholicism in 1845, and his founding of the Birmingham Oratory, a Catholic religious community, in 1849.
The poems in this collection span a range of Christian subjects, including piety, biblical prophets, Church Fathers, and Newmanโs evolving views on the Catholic Church. Some noteworthy inclusions are โThe Pillar of the Cloud,โ which has been set to music as the hymn โLead, Kindly Light,โ and โThe Dream of Gerontius,โ which relates a manโs journey into the afterlife, inspired by Danteโs Divine Comedy.
