Above some common chamber's noisome din,
a minor poet gave you this great book.
He told you that you need just have a look
to bring their splendid love alive again.

Author's Notes/Comments:
The reader gives a kind of breath to the poet's words, enlivening or reviving them (especially if they are ancient, or unusually forgotten). Lady Cara, whom I consider one of my dearest friends, is, herself, an ideal reader---with one of the most poetic personalities I have encountered.
