Epilogue/Eulogy (cafe/performance)
immortalize our love, honor her memory, “passion's grace”

the eternal present of Thomas Browne ~
the remembered love of Monsarrat Leave Cancelled ~
the particular life lived ~

plein air

Come calm my grieving heart

Come calm my grieving heart
It grieves for you
Til it, and all our love,
Are laid to rest.
Again I can not respond

Now
As blocked and hidden memories rise
You emerge again as passion's grace
And I cannot respond
With sorrow that I did not act
Before the ending of our song
For into Death and silence
You have gone






Mary Borden (letter)

I suppose the ‘font’ of ambition is the desire not to be forgotten—I would like to right [sic] poems for you that will make you the subject of thought and dreams, years after we are gone—Abellard and Eloise [sic] have never been forgotten—Dante’s Beatrice is still alive—Why not my lover, who will be remembered for his services to his country, why should he not be known too, because of me?
