Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Heavenly Alchymist: And Other Poems
A cloud of smoke I saw ascending, And marvelled that so foul a thing Should toward the blessed Skies be tending. But soon I ceased my wondering; For, 10! As rising toward the sun, It grew to be a thing of light, And through the air it glided on, With every movement yet more bright, Until at last it lay unrolled In hues of amethyst and gold.
The hills before my eyes were lying, Unlovely in their wintry gloom; No summer birds were o'er them ?ying, No trace was there of life and bloom.
