“Oh
gold ! what potent powers are thine,”
“Thou demigod, almost divine!”
In
1858 Charles Fenerty leaves his community and
travels to Australia. He goes there to look
for adventure and to write for a local newspaper.
During his time in Australia he writes several
poems, one of the is his three part cantos called
Hid Treasure. The poem is basically about a
group of mates who decide to look for Captain
Kidd's treasure. But for Fenerty it's a test
of faith and how far one goes for greed. |
