One of my favorite poems and poets. Wonderful selection to start with. Also, the Dickinson poem.

Please don't hate me, but his name is William Butler YEATS and not YAETS.

Sorry to be such a proofreading fool, but I do love this poet.



Author Reply: Yikes! I knew that! Oops! **much shuffling of feet and abject embarrassment** Shall rectify now. I agree, this is such a lovely passage. I think the Frontispiece is what inspired me to write this work.

It is rare to find such a compassionate and tender view of Boromir, particularly in a scenario where he himself is viewed AS compassionate and
tender. A lovely vision, especially when mingled with the hope of youth and the mellow joy of this experience.

The introduction perfectly sets the stage, combining humor, some exposition, happiness and melancholy almost like musical themes in an overture while the story unfolds intricatly, patiently drawing the reader along. And, as always, the writing sparkles with so many little gems of language throughout.
