Excerpt from Apples of Istakhar
Rosemary
More than mere wisdom of the book and pen
You taught me, oh my master, in the days
When Life's red sun shone on untrodden ways,
More than an old-world tongue you taught me then,
More than the truth a scholar's lip could tell,
Though still your Chaucer only do I see,
Your Goldsmith and your Wordsworth speak to me
In tones and accents I remember well.
You taught me that the beautiful, the best
Is worth alone Life's struggle, that to fail,
Seeking the vision of a holy grail,
Were better than success in common quest.
You taught not by dead precept, but the breath
Of your rare spirit spoke in every tone,
By what you were, not what you said alone,
And still you speak, unhushed by silent Death.
