on The Gates of Damascus by James Elroy Flecker, on November 7

Agatha Christie
Selecting just the most appropriate lines for her purpose, Agatha Christie prefaced this to her "Postern of Fate," not a Poirot nor a Marple novel, but a Tommy and Tuppence one.
on The Ancient Elf by James Stephens, on September 7

Well, ah, ...
I think I do know some people who think of themselves in those terms, or rather in terms like them. Some even make an effort to live accordingly. (Sigh!)
on The Sandpiper by Celia Laighton Thaxter, on April 19

The Sandpiper
Gee, in 3rd grade we memorized this poem, but now that I've found it, I can't say that I really recognize it. Must be the same poem, though!
on Easter Hymn by A D Hope, on April 9
Think of it as "a message of Hope."
