Excerpt from The Sistine Eve: And Other Poems Ticonderoga A Ballad I What spirits conjure thee from time, Ticonderoga? On thy headland rock Of history, Who are these that knock And summon thee To move thine ancient lips in rhyme, Ticonderoga? Where the wind-blown swallows Veer and vary, Where the shore and shallows Lie visionary, Titans three Stand at my knee: Each one is a century. In their shadow, silently, Sits the sibyl Memory. And her silence questions me: About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Quaint splendors mass Within the lake's clear glass, And liquid lilies golden run In rose gules of the rising sun. Naught else there of acclaim Greets the great Chevalier's name, Save where the water-fowl's primeval broods Awake Bulwagga's lone and echoing solitudes.
