To V. B. and M. B.
this Book
with my love
1906-1908

Your paths were two when
first the tale began
And now are one, and still
with every year
Love, the Divine Roadmaker,
works His will.
And of these paths he makes
one perfect Road
Which those who follow after
shall find smooth
And with more easy steps
shall seek the Dawn.
