The Sacred Flora: Or Flowers From The Grave Of A Child is a book written by Henry Bacon and published in 1844. The book is a collection of poems and prose pieces that were written in memory of a child who had passed away. The child’s grave was adorned with flowers, which inspired Bacon to write about the beauty and symbolism of various flowers. The book is divided into several sections, each focusing on a different flower. Each section includes a poem and a prose piece that explores the flower’s meaning and significance. Some of the flowers featured in the book include the rose, lily, violet, and daisy. Throughout the book, Bacon reflects on the fragility of life and the beauty that can be found in even the smallest things. He also explores the themes of grief, loss, and the power of memory. Overall, The Sacred Flora is a poignant and heartfelt tribute to a lost child, and a celebration of the natural world and its ability to bring comfort and solace in times of sorrow.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
