According to Yeats in *A Treasury of Irish Poetry,* Gyles's covers feature a combination of *beauty of design* and *precise symbolism,* merging unique imagery with a detailed reflection of the book's content. Her design for Dowson's book, considered a rare work from that century, illustrates this duality through an elegant front cover depiction of a rose and bud on a thorny stalk and a rear cover with a dense interlace of brambles, projecting an idea of sophisticated beauty.
