Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Actaeon's Defense: And Other Poems
Out of their quiet, over miles of sky, Ever my burning sight would yearn to them With this too great desire. And oft I plunged Into a shadowed pool to quench at once My body's heat and this fierce ?ame within, In vain! Like to the stag I oft have seen Trample the fairness of an hostile copse To reach a farther shelter, while each move Doubled its danger; so through all the spring I came.
At last one mom I woke and found The earth all summer, beauteous, wide and full. Within me woke twin gladness to my world! I leapt, and gave the brimming call of old Delight, and felt the dream, the spell That held me, surge toward its goal.
