Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Sonnets and Poems
And bids thee count the cost of golden laughter In the dull coinage of leaden tears.
O perjured wisdom! Half/truth hedged with lies! That makes a common stake of joy and pain, When tears are man's most mortal certainties And every instant's joy his heavenly gain.
