THE LIFTED LAMP

This little book of verse by the widely-known Texas poet is for all who feel and respond to the moods that are created by winter twilight, meadows at dusk, a Vermeer canvas or a shelf of old books. Here the poetry of white lilacs, a mountain canyon, a golden eagle's flight becomes articulate; a meditation on the Lord's prayer and on the world of God lend special reverence, and the poem to a son in training will comfort every mother's heart.
