Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Minstrel's Inspiration: And Other Poems
I caught a Vision, through passing time, From which my spirit life, was fed; That thoughts, in poetry I could rhyme, That became to be, my daily bread. For it was Aristotle, who wisely said, It is not the function of the Poet, To relate what happened, to be led, But what may, is his merit.
