About This Book

A narrative in verse traces a noble earthly love whose thwarting or loss propels the beloved into a life of high endeavour and moral resolve. Through elegiac lyric and reflective passages it explores hidden sorrow beneath outward cheer, the mind’s struggle with inexplicable fate, and the discipline of duty and creative work as means of consolation. Episodes and meditations consider varied instances of loss, disappointed expectation, and the sustaining roles of art, faith, and service.
