"He teaches us to keep things in mind."
---Vyacheslav Ivanov
[Christmas Eve, 2017]
The poet teaches us to keep things in mind.
Of common Life our poetry is designed.
Even the most fictive of fantasy
rises from symbol or reality---
both by Life focused and refined
(even the tale of the vengeful wraith).
Poetry is life in delectation
through and because of Grace received by faith,
the faith of the elect unto Salvation.
