Excerpt from Serapion: And Other Poems
I hear their howls behind us, and. The tread Of mad rebellion pouring like a flood Through all the city ways.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an enthralling and intimate portrait of Roman Alexandria through the story of Serapion, a solitary hermit and a Christian martyr. At a time when ancient gods clash with the rising influence of Christianity, Serapion's faith pits him against the Roman Emperor, the pagan mob, and insidious temptations. His uncompromising and solitary devotion contrasts with the vivid and sensual world of Alexandria, revealing both the corruption and beauty of a society in flux. The author explores themes of faith, love, and the enduring power of the human spirit, reflecting on the ways in which we define ourselves and our place within the world. This deeply resonant story sheds light on the birth of Christianity and the fragile nature of belief during a period of profound societal transformation.
