All the Men 1963

pr o lo gue . . .

With faulty voice and lagging pen Uncertainly I strive to speak that mul titude OJ new and growing thoughts wi thin My brain. I brave my own ineptitude Attempting to reveal each sorrow. Love, hope, wonder, lest the morrow End my brief and wholly undeveloped Life before I stand, a man enveloped By my world . . .
