Excerpt from Contacts, and Other Poems If we could but forget by heartThe many things we never knew, Should we not give a greater partTo what is fanciful and true? In vain the cold museum triesTo break with labels from its dream, But still a headless torso cries, Against our knowledge things yet seem. The pure conception grandly flingsA path beyond the precipice, And soon a miracle of wingsWill quit the sleeping chrysalis. The poet, calm above all age, Must be the actor with his fan, The swift horse, blossom, joy and rage, Within the booth of his Japan. Ah, could we win that ideal first, Clear water in the glass that standsTransparent, patient for all thirst, The lilies never grasped by hands!

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book of poetry explores themes of adventure, love, age, and literature. The author, writing between 1913 and 1915, is grounded in the tradition of classic British poetry; however, the sentiments within these poems feel fresh and poignant in their expression. The voice of the poet is introspective and profound. The author reflects on the passage of time, aging, and the significance of beauty. These poems encapsulate the loss of adventure associated with growing older, the deep beauty of resilience, and the splendor found in nature. They showcase the importance of embracing each stage of life and finding wonder in both the enduring and ephemeral elements of the human experience.
