Description

The Poems of Anne BradstreetA real sense of calm pervades Bradstreets poetry. She has genuine affection for the things she writes about, whether that be family, or the vistas of nature, or her husband, or the pleasant things lost in the house fire, and so in no way does she come across as a pinched ascetic. But neither does she come across as someone who is in frantic pursuit of worldly goods. ~From Douglas Wilsons Introduction Look Inside the Book Anne Bradstreet came to fame

“A real sense of calm pervades Bradstreet’s poetry. She has genuine affection for the things she writes about, whether that be family, or the vistas of nature, or her husband, or the “pleasant things” lost in the house fire, and so in no way does she come across as a pinched ascetic. But neither does she come across as someone who is in frantic pursuit of worldly goods.” ~From Douglas Wilson’s Introduction

Look Inside the Book

Anne Bradstreet came to fame when someone published her poetry as The Tenth Muse Lately Sprung Up in America. Anne Bradstreet was a Puritan who had crossed the ocean to help found the new colony in America. She lived on the frontier and lived a fairly uneventful life loving her husband and children. However, she was also a well-educated and imaginative woman whose poetry continues to be admired to this day. This collection of her poems is a forgotten classic that we would be well advised to read.

“Here follow some verses upon the burning of our house, July 10th, 1666. Copied out of a loose paper.”

In silent night, when rest I took,
For sorrow near I did not look.
I wakened was with thundering noise
And piteous shrieks of dreadful voice.
That fearful sound of “Fire!” and “Fire!”
Let no man know, is my desire.

I, starting up, the light did spy,
And to my God my heart did cry
To strengthen me in my distress,
And not to leave me succorless;
Then coming out, beheld apace
The flame consume my dwelling-place.

And when I could no longer look
I blest his name that gave and took,
That laid my goods now in the dust;
Yea, so it was, and so ’twas just—
It was his own; it was not mine.
Far be it that I should repine.
He might of all justly bereft,
But yet sufficient for us left.
When by the ruins oft I passed
My sorrowing eyes aside did cast,
And here and there the places spy
Where oft I sat, and long did lie.

Here stood that trunk, and there that chest;
There lay that store I counted best;
My pleasant things in ashes lie,
And them behold no more shall I.
Under thy roof no guest shall sit,
Nor at thy table eat a bit;

No pleasant tale shall e’er be told,
Nor things recounted done of old;
No candle e’er shall shine in thee,
Nor bridegroom’s voice e’er heard shall be.
In silence ever shalt thou lie.
Adieu, adieu; all’s vanity.

Then straight I ’gan my heart to chide:
And did thy wealth on earth abide?
Didst fix thy hope on mouldering dust,
The arm of flesh didst make thy trust?
Raise up thy thoughts above the sky,
That dunghill mists away may fly.

Thou hast an house on high erect;
Framed by that mighty Architect,
With glory richly furnished,
Stands permanent though this be fled.
It’s purchaséd, and paid for, too,
By Him who hath enough to do—
A price so vast as is unknown,
Yet, by his gift, is made thine own.
There’s wealth enough; I need no more.
Farewell, my pelf; farewell, my store;
The world no longer let me love.
My hope and treasure lie above.

nice set
Color: Clear Black
I bought this set to organize a messy desk drawer and it made a huge difference right away. Having multiple sizes in one pack is what really makes this set useful. I was able to customize the layout instead of trying to force everything into a few fixed compartments. The trays feel sturdy enough for everyday use and the clear design makes it easy to see everything at a glance. I used them for things like pens, paper clips, chargers, and random small items that usually get lost, and now everything actually has a place. They also don’t slide around much once placed, especially if the drawer is fairly full, which I appreciated. Setup took just a few minutes and instantly made the space look cleaner and more put together. If I had to note anything, the plastic is lightweight, so it is not heavy duty, but for organizing office supplies it works perfectly fine. Overall, a really practical set that helps you stay organized without overthinking it.

Great organizers!
Color: Clear
This is a really practical organizer set. I used it in my bathroom and nightstand drawers, and it helped clean everything up fast. The different sizes are the best part—you can mix and match depending on what you’re storing. Only reason I’m giving 4 stars is because the plastic isn’t super heavy-duty, but it’s still perfectly fine for everyday use. Good value for the amount you get.

Nice drawer organizers with a lot of versatility.
Color: Clear
I bought these to organize my desk drawer because it seems like I can never find anything I'm looking for without taking everything out first,which is always a pain,so I thought why not try a set of drawer organizers.Talk about night and day,these things keep all my stuff tidy and easy to find now,it's great! The plastic doesn't feel cheap either and the different sizes are very versatile,they also come with enough rubber feet for all the containers,though you do have to peel and stick them on yourself,but it's easy and the adhesive feels very strong. I would definitely recommend these if you're looking for some great containers to get things more organized.

Easy to configure. So helpful!
Color: Clear, Color: Clear
My house has old bathroom cabinets that are too narrow for most organizers I have found. These organizers come in different sizes so I can mix and match the pieces to fit the drawers and items I have to store. I have filled two drawers with these and still have more containers to use. These are truly the tool for the job. They are sturdy, stable and I thought I would have trouble with them moving around but they stay in place while maintaining their versatility. If I need to switch out stuff, I just reconfigure the drawer. No assembly required. One of my most favorite simple purchases. I can’t believe I have lived without these simple but helpful organizers!

Great for lip gloss. Headbands. Little toys and trinkets for preteen
Color: Lilac
This set is great! I love the colors, and my daughter is obsessed with anything purple — light purple, dark purple, all of it 💜. She uses these for all her little trinkets like keychains, Q-tips, headbands, braces, hand sanitizers, little toys, and lip glosses. They’re easy to use, easy to clean, and great quality. She’s had them for a few months now and they’ve held up really well Different sizes. They like up for accessibility
