The Poetical Works of Oliver Wendell Holmes — Volume 06: Poems from the Breakfast Table Series is a collection of poetry likely written in the mid to late 19th century. This volume features a variety of themes, exploring human emotions, nature, and societal observations through Holmes's signature wit and cleverness. Notable poems include ''The Chambered Nautilus,'' which uses metaphor to discuss growth and time, and ''The Deacon's Masterpiece,'' a humorous tale about a logically built carriage. The collection invites readers into a rich world of imagery and introspection.

“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
