Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Love-Sonnets
Joy in desire more than desire of jey Hath ever been my passion mute from far To love an unknown woman like a star; To build in dreams no waking could destroy Some island-palace far from life's annoy By strength of spirit to force the silver bar Oi twilight till the dawn-gates stood ajar, And gaze on Paradise, a dazzled boy To look forth o'er the ocean's grey-lit foam In the dim morning; and in starry night Upon the myriad-mustered worlds above; To emulate the unequalled, Greece and Rome, Heroes and deeds, the heads of faith and fight; To adore thee Whom I may scarcely love.
