This book is a dynamic collection of thought provoking verse. Its poetry resonates meaning and melody in the reader's memory, if read as poetry is meant to be read. For example, if one were to read (viz., “Pillars,” “Sonnets To The Four Seasons,” et alii) several times, closely, and aloud, one would understand what the author means when he says poetry comes to life and lives by resonating meaning and melody in memory.

Satisfy your hunger for inspirational poetry with the mystical poems in Optics, written in English, not translated, not interpreted, neither diffused nor mediated by a secondary source. These works are not experienced vicariously, but directly, since they were written in English, and by one trained in the various illuminating disciplines.
