Two New Poems: Rohallion; The Little Dragon

Published in 1863, 'Two New Poems: Rohallion; The Little Dragon' by Violet Jacob is a collection of two lyrical poems that delve into themes of longing, memory, and the tension between duty and desire. The first poem, 'Rohallion,' reflects on the narrator's nostalgic connection to his rural Scottish home, while the second, 'The Little Dragon,' portrays a nun's forbidden passion for a passing knight, exploring the intersection of the sacred and the earthly. This work showcases Jacob's use of Scottish dialect and her ability to evoke deep emotional landscapes.
