An excerpt from Emmett's Journal:



"He was the starry night-sky of paradise,

Whence he gleam'd like the moonlit sunrise,

A sprite like spirit, in fair

Like dusky Dawn's colour, his hair;

His eyes reflect the clouds thousand,

Strung delicately and perfectly roused,

But in all other things, too, beguiled

Like moth to a flame, enticed;

A fleeting moment, he's gone away,

My heart in his embrace faraway.


Thence he smiled in glee,

A man left alone to be,

Though his sweet expressions lie'd,

His form held firmness and pride,

With the world's bitter embers at his feet,

 Festooned like gems in a fleet,

He was designed with foresight for a skill,

And music to the ears his voice of will,

With something to live and light,

Never did I see darkness so bright."
