So she must have been pleased with us,
who did not forgo our heritageat the grave-edge;
she must have been pleasedwith the straggling company of the brush and quill
who did not deny their birthright;she must have been pleased with us,
for she looked so kindly at usunder her drift of veils,
and she carried a book.
H.D., “Tribute to the Angels,” #35
