The Last West; and, Paolo's Virginia by G. B. Warren
"The Last West; and, Paolo's Virginia" by G. B. Warren is a collection of poems and a play that captures the spirit of the early 20th century, likely written in the 1910s. The book intertwines themes of nature, adventure, and romance, focusing on the picturesque landscapes of British Columbia and the exploration of love through a whimsical narrative. It is set against the backdrop of the vast wilderness and the enchanting charm
of youthful love, providing a vivid portrayal of the natural world's beauty and the joys and sorrows that accompany human emotions. The collection features a variety of lyrical poems that celebrate the majestic scenery of the Canadian West, describing mountains, rivers, and the sea with rich imagery. Interspersed within these poems is the play "Paolo's Virginia," which tells the story of Paolo, a young man infatuated with Virginia. The play unfolds poetically as Paolo navigates his feelings, aided by mythical creatures like Kelpies and Frosties, ultimately leading to a heartfelt confession of love in a springtime setting. Themes of desire, fantasy, and the innocence of young love are prevalent as characters reflect on the interplay of emotion and nature, making the book a charming exploration of both the outer and inner landscapes.
