The Poetical Works of Oliver Wendell Holmes — Volume 05: Poems of the Class of '29 (1851-1889) is a collection of poems reflecting on friendships formed during the poet's youth and college years. Written in the mid to late 19th century, the poems evoke nostalgia and explore themes of camaraderie and the passage of time. Notable pieces include 'Bill and Joe,' which captures a conversation between old friends, and 'A Song of 'Twenty-Nine,' celebrating enduring bonds despite aging. This volume highlights Holmes' ability to blend playful reverence with poignant reflections on life.

“Olympia next, a creature half divine / Sprung from the blood of old Evander's line / Held her white arm that wore a twisted chain / Clasped with an opal-sherry cymophane.””
— Oliver Wendell Holmes
