Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Web of Life
How my spirit flamed within me! In a grand and frantic fashion I tore the mesh, and trampled on the falsely shin ing thread; Till I rose serene and patient from the ashes of my passion, And flung the heavy shuttle of Reality instead. I dallied not for Fancy, and I tarried not for Beauty, And faint as whispering echoes the voice of Pleasure rang; For me - I only cared to hear the clarion of Duty, And work my rhythmic treadles to the trumpet song She sang.
