Crossing The Bar: A Lyric Of Life Everlasting is a book written by George Angier Gordon and published in 1909. The book is a collection of poems that explore the theme of death and the afterlife. The title of the book is taken from a poem of the same name by Alfred Lord Tennyson, which speaks of the crossing of the bar as a metaphor for the journey from life to death. The poems in the book are written in a contemplative and reflective style, and they offer a range of perspectives on the subject of death. Some of the poems are deeply spiritual, while others are more philosophical in nature. Many of the poems express a sense of hope and comfort, suggesting that death is not an end but a new beginning. The author, George Angier Gordon, was a prominent figure in the Unitarian Church and a respected theologian. He was known for his progressive views on religion and his commitment to social justice. In Crossing The Bar, Gordon draws on his theological background to explore the spiritual dimensions of death and the afterlife. Overall, Crossing The Bar: A Lyric Of Life Everlasting is a thoughtful and thought-provoking collection of poems that offers insights into the mysteries of life and death. It is a book that will appeal to readers who are interested in spirituality, philosophy, and poetry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
