These are the words which appear on the back cover of my Collected Poems
Transcendental Sonnet #862:
This Book of My Life
This book of my life written page by page
And forming link by link a single chain
From youth through experience into age
Is that by which I rise and live again
Beyond my days into a time unknown
Unto me now as I write here alone
Into my future and out of your past
As I become a present after all
And now you hold me in your hands at last
The only paradise beyond the fall
For sinful mortals and poets like me
Who live but little time and then must die
Is to become a part of destiny
And leave you this to remember me by
