Sinopsis

Excerpt from The Cycle's Rim

For any rough-spun web to dress her dream And make it visible to eyes that doubt; And doubting see but air where seraph shape Makes radiant the roads that wind about Earth's twilight fringes that too heavy drape The striving lance of sight. But she, so poor In shining words that those who hear must scoff, Bears in her eyes such riches, such dear lure Of vision, that ere dies the mocker's laugh, She forward springs to take thee by the hand, Nor stays her joy till doubters understand.

Excerpt from The Cycle's Rim

I

Deep lies thy body, jewel of the sea,
Locked down with wave on wave. Pearl-drift among
The coral towers, and yet not thee, not thee!
So lightly didst thou mount, blue rung o'er rung,
The lustred ladder rippling from that land
Of strangely boughed and wooing wildernesses.
Province of dream unwaning, dream yet banned
From sleepers in the sun; but thou, as presses
The lark that feels his song, sped to thy sky.
O unrepressed! If thou wouldst choose be gone,
What sea-charm then could stay thee, bid thee lie
Too deep for cock-crow earth or heaven's dawn?
Yet must I chant these broken, mortal staves,
And lay my leaf of laurel on the waves.
