Epistle In Homage To A. E.
[to George Russell, the poet A. E.]
The first encyclopedic entry that I read:
in Funk and Wagnalls: brief, concise biography;
mention without quotation of your poetry;
no explanation of that signature, A. E;
(not much read or appreciated presently).
Shameless, I take from Joyce's epic prose this phrase
which summarizes all and any other praise,
and any scholarly critiques; all that is said
about your verses, prose, plays, and your paintings too:
I say with Joyce, and others, "A E I O U."
