TO MY FRIEND AND TEACHER ANNA J. HAMILTON

The writer wishes to express her gratitude to the Art
Department of the Indiana University, whose kindness in
lending the pictures which suggested the verses, and whose
mission in opening some of their meanings to her spirit,
have helped to make possible this little book.
