Book Cover & Preview Text
An example of an early poem. The heavens are pouring Their sad goodness on the earth. I weep with the rain. But what joy to run naked in heaven's downpour. To laugh and love the blessed wetness, On my warm white skin. I laugh and the thunder replies! He is not angry, It is loves wrath. And after the rain, what then? A warm fire and a loving kiss!

Elaine Wood wrote this poem about her. When I think of you, Beaming with effervescent joy, I see someone, who has triumphed over life, For whatever its vicissitudes, none have stolen, your contagious capacity for wonder. Lately, blows of fate. have bent your bows, too unkindly, Yet even then, your dreaming heart goes on, longs for different lands, full of love adventure and passion, Of all the people I know,In the whole world,No one else retuns my gesture of affection. with such ready, childlike glee.
