| “What is this child of man that can conquer Time and that is braver than Love? Even Memory.” Lord Dunsany. |
| Though “a Sorrow’s Crown of Sorrow” Be “remembering happier things,” Present joy will shine the brighter If our morn a radiance flings. We perchance may thwart the future If we will not look before, And upon a past which pains us We may fasten Memory’s door. But we will not, cannot, banish Bygone pleasure from our side, Nor will doubt, beyond the storm-cloud, Shall be Light at Eventide. M. E. J. |
