Book excerpt: 'The lilies blossom o'er the land In aromatic rolling stream Reflecting every golden strand of light Within their silken sheen. The Queen of Sheba journeyed far To gaze upon a glory rare; But Solomon in all his might With lily bright could not compare.' A poem is a picture, a story that plumbs the depths of human perception and experience. A poem is a living entity, emerging from the wellspring of the soul. Defined, it defies definition. A droplet, it glistens in the sun before losing itself in the stream. A reflection of life, it conveys the essence of being. Like the lily, fading, a poem is born anew, speaking peace. While contemporary in style, Lilies in a Stream belongs to the category of Romantic literature. Like the poems in this special edition, the selected prints are strong and classic, rich in archetypal imagery. And, while the poems are not based on the art itself, a meaningful aesthetic relationship is evident throughout. A treasure of verse and art!
