" . . . spiritual intimacies live in the heart, they are
part of our eternal life, and reach beyond the stars."
---J. G. Nicholson, Romance Of A Choir Boy, XV
Speak, Musa Puerilis, of the Star they call Uranian,
and the planet that orbits it, bucolic Charmidean,
orbited by a sole moon, shimmering Chaeronea.
There, Philebus and others---Poets and Astronomers---
enjoy the constellated beauties that each prefers;
and no Haters' prejudice nor old prudes' panacea
intrude upon such delicate and exquisite pleasures---
recorded in the purest Poetry's resonant measures.
Of all this, speak---Musa Puerilis---my Beloved, J-Lore.
Starward
