Adieu To Clifton! A Descriptive Poem is a work of poetry written by John Kingdom in 1824. The poem is a vivid and descriptive portrayal of the Clifton area of Bristol, England, and its surrounding natural beauty. The author takes the reader on a journey through the town, describing its architecture, streets, and landmarks, as well as the stunning views of the Avon Gorge and the Bristol Channel. Throughout the poem, Kingdom reflects on the passing of time and the inevitability of change, as well as the beauty and transience of life itself. The work is a celebration of both the physical and emotional landscape of Clifton, and a poignant farewell to a place that holds great significance for the author.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
