Excerpt from The Celestial Passion
White and midnight sky, O starry bath, Wash me in thy pure, heavenly, crystal flood; Cleanse me, ye stars, from earthly soil and~scath Let not one taint remain in Spirit or blood! Receive my soul, ye burning, awful deeps; Touch and baptize me with the mighty power That in ye thrills, while the dark planet sleeps; Make me all yours for one blest, secret hour! 0 glittering host, O high angelic choir, Silence each tone that with thy music jars; Fill me even as an urn with thy white fire Till all I am is kindred to the stars! Make me thy child, thou infinite, holy night, So shall my days be full of heavenly light!

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This collection of haunting and lyrical poetry meditates on the themes of love, loss, nature, lifeās unanswered questions, and the power of art. The author draws inspiration from the classics of English literature, and the poems explore similar universal experiences and profound human emotions. In this book, love is a celestial passion that can baptize and transform, and loss is a wound that brings forth wisdom. The poet reminds us that nature is a balm that soothes our sorrows, and art can bridge the gap between life and death and help us to find a kind of immortality. By turns extolling the virtues of poets and chastising them for their shortcomings, the author engages directly with the complicated relationship between art and life. The poems offer an honest exploration of grief, suffering, and the search for joy and meaning. They ultimately lead the reader towards an acceptance of the inevitable and a sense of the miraculous inherent in all that is ephemeral. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
