"Crown Jewels" ~ Voices Reborn Faded pages O so old treasured poems to unfold Copyright 1887 then 1888 J. R. Jones, a potentate Introduction read so fine a collection of poems then some rhyme treasured prose and narrative this is how we use to live. Dickens, Moore, John Milton Browning, Tennyson & Burns I enjoy so reading this for look at all I've learned… Longfellow & Southey Holmes, Coleridge & Hill did you know the elephant's poem was older than the hills? Index of First Lines a collected treasure in own right just to read the very first lines that fall beneath my sight There's even "Choice Selections" of Vocal and Instrumental Music if you didn't know how old a song here you can find it rustic… and now we'll have our own… as Passions in Poetry has ever grown look at all the names in here look at the wisdom and the cheer look where all the voices belong raised in unison, breathing song to know that in a century gone Voices on the Web will belong to someone who would pen some rhyme to last throughout a century's time. ~*~*~*~*~ In coming tribute, we thank you, Ron! ©Karilea Rilling Jungel 29 August 2000 |

Thank you all...amazing that this old book from 1888 could make me think that in 100 years, someone may still be perusing "old" poetry via Visions on the Web and seeing YOUR names! |
