Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Into the Light: And Other Verse
MY long-loved muse, DO thou attend ME kindly now' lead ME along the devious paths OF rhyme TO helicon's unfailing springs, where poesy with splendent wings, and dowered TO soar beyond the reach op'time, her bannered glory flings above all common things, and where throughout her sacred grove MY fancy's troop IS free TO rove. Oh, chide ME not that I should dare TO build such castle IN the air, wherefrom MY dreams were wont TO peer ON life's vast maze this many A year, IN hope that they IN some embodied strain might ask thy great approval not IN vain; for should NO thought OF ME OR mine thy unrelenting bosom stir, thou still wouldst BE TO ME divine, still would BE thy worshipper.
