Sinopsis

Excerpt from Sonnets to B. R. R

Behold the landmark! See what changes time Has wrought. Just here the wooden stile on which We used to rest. Yonder the post, wild thyme Still clustering at its base, in it the niche I carved deeply that day about our names While you stood near and watched. But look, love, here. This weather-stained impression - Oh, not fame's Own mark so sweet 3 memory or more dear Could bring me - yes, your name carved my hand! O soul I love, the chrism of that day Is still upon me these faint letters and This holy place incline my spirit to pray That heaven's over-arching destiny Round out in our twain lives full harmony!

Sonnets

I

Life has its passions that enthrall the soul,
Lifting it high above all common wants;
The herd, with avid taste, sets for its goal
And, mindful of naught worthier, loudly vaunts.
Two have I had and still have - you and books:
Great passions both, soul-sanctifying, strong
To uplift, dynamic, scornful of mere looks
And show of earthly tinsel, babble and song
Of frippery. The lesser passion, books,
A consecration of the soul's estate
Entails for life, a heritage that brooks
No rivalry, save wherein soon and late
The greater passion, you, outreaches it
Investing life with glory halo-lit.
