Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Star-Dust
Silence is the mantle Of each star, Woven on the mountain heights Of snow. Silence is the mantle Of our woe, When to men our inmost souls we bar, Standing from their ways apart and far. In its wordless spell pure souls atone, Voiceless, at their Maker's heavenly throne, For the thoughts that holy deeds do mar. God is Silence, and His works Of might, Wrought in Silence now and ever-more, Stand within the soul's white gallery, Mutely eloquent; and in death's night, Carved, we see, upon His temple door.
