Write your comment about To The Baron De Humboldt, poem by Helen Maria Williams
Anita O'Connor.: I only learnt of the Baron de Humboldt after buying an antique box that is the size of a match box and quite like a match box, for double cement pens that was dedicated and accepted by the Baron, containing an extrait de letter autographe, Berlin, 13 May 1858. His picture is presented on the front.
When I saw this poem I assumed it was from the period in which he lived, how sweet the thought of his flowers for you bought, perhaps he did buy the very flowers he gave to you in another life maybe.
I would like to know the poets inspiration in relation to the Baron de Humboldt and I am positive he would be deeply flattered.
