Sonnets of the Cross (Paperback)

1924. The Society of Saints Peter and Paul, recognizing the intrinsic merit of these poems, now offers them to English readers for the first time. Reading of the poems consecutively, one has the feeling of withdrawing deeper and deeper into some still place; a hush is upon everything as if one entered into a sanctuary. It is a quiet altogether mystical, as if evoked for us by one who had found the serene beauty at the heart of Life. It is the mood which comes upon one who wanders alone into a wood, dreaming in a still autumnal peace.
