Published by The Macmillan Company, the anthology gathers poetic works that range in tone from lighthearted and tuneful to bold and profound. The book includes notable pieces such as the satirical Mouse Trap, which muses on the philosophy of life through the lens of a mouse, as well as works previously featured in periodicals like America and the Saturday Review of Literature, including The Organ Blower. This collection showcases Feeney's unique ability to blend philosophical inquiry with rhythmic charm, appealing to a varied audience interested in early 20th-century American poetry. The work reflects the intellectual and spiritual sensibilities of the period, presenting verses that are both observational and introspective. It remains a significant example of religious and secular poetic expression from the interwar era, capturing the author's distinct voice and stylistic versatility.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":15,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/literature/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/riddle-and-reverie/429841/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/riddle-and-reverie/429841.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Aurelia","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-09-30","2026-09-29",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":81},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"Who is the author of Riddle and Reverie?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"The author of the book is Leonard Feeney, S.J.","Answer",{"name":115,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":116},"When was this collection of poetry published?",{"text":117,"@type":113},"The book was published in December 1933 by The Macmillan Company.",{"name":119,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":120},"What is the central theme of the poem Mouse Trap included in the book?",{"text":121,"@type":113},"The poem Mouse Trap uses the metaphor of an apprehensive mouse to satirize philosophical indecision and the tendency to overthink truth, contrasting it with a more decisive approach to life.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":83,"og:type":124,"og:title":65,"og:site_name":95,"og:description":67},"article",{"robots":126,"canonical":83},"index,follow",{"doc_id":128,"site_id":62},429841,1790679713,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":131},{"doc_id":128,"user_id":132,"nickname":92,"user_avatar":133,"doc_module":4,"category_id":14,"category_name":15,"doc_title":65,"doc_description":67,"doc_content":134,"file_id":135,"file_url":136,"file_type":137,"file_size":138,"view_count":81,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":8,"is_downloadable":8,"audit_status":8,"page_count":139,"language":140,"language_code":63,"site_id":62,"html_lang":63,"table_of_contents":141,"faqs":142,"seo_title":143,"seo_description":67,"update_tm":144,"read_time":145},1099514068365,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/avatar/10000253d8d9f28188e?_k=1776742907772140068","# RIDDLE AND REVERIE\n\nLEONARD FEENEY  \n## RIDDLE ANDREVERIE\n\nBy LEONARD FEENEY  \nHere are witty and whimsical verses—gayly tuneful,original,sometimeslight,sometimes bold and profound.They should appeal to a varied audience.  \nA few stanzas of “Mouse Trap”willserve to show the author’s light touch:  \nI loathe an apprehensive mouseWhose phobia for trapsReduces life's philosophyTo“maybe\"and \"perhaps”;
