SONNET
Suggested by Reading the Remarkable Cure of Captain J. W. Deering
To Dr. P. P. Quimby
'Mid light of science sits the sage profound, |
Awing with classics and his starry lore, |
Climbing to Venus, chasing Saturn round, |
Turning his mystic pages o'er and o'er, |
Till, from empyrean space, his wearied sight |
Turns to the oasis on which to gaze, |
More bright than glitters on the brow of night |
The self-taught man walking in wisdom's ways. |
Then paused the captive gaze with peace entwined, |
And sight was satisfied with thee to dwell; |
But not in classics could the book-worm find |
That law of excellence whence came the spell |
Potent o'er all, the captive to unbind, |
To heal the sick and faint, the halt and blind. |
Mary M. Patterson. |
