Sonnets To The Eternal Feminine

Sonnets to the Eternal Feminine is a collection of art dedicated to a platonic impossibility. Apart from sonnets dedicated to some of the masterworks of painting, music, literature, and sculpture, this anthology features Ian Charles Lepine's terrifying voyage into Topus Uranus, as narrated in The Artist's Archetype: A Short Story of Love and Horror.The poems alternate between the wealth of love and its desolations, and are perhaps best summed up by the following piece:Though I your love did with my heart pursue;Though I admired you like th' evening star;And thought through you I could be made anew,And loved you madly near and from afar,I never knew you'd give me such a giftWithout vouchsafing but one yearning kiss;Instead, in your blue eyes I was adrift,And drowned in you, and cursed each day such bliss. One time my hands you held; I wondered why;For you were promis'd to another's soul;And as I scan the past, I classifyYour loss as Pyrrhic gain that made me whole. For in my hand you placed a poet's quill;And blood in inkpot has improv'd my skill.
