(In Memoriam)America, you miss a Man to-day,And we will be Chief Mourners, if we may.To-day, at least, his dearest wish is done,For all the English speakers think as one.But here’s a wonder for the world to share,The calm Colossus in … Continue reading
Sonnet CCXXIII: “I cannot think thou would’st forget me even” (George Henry Boker Poems)
