Deciphering texts of literary true beauty,
remains this tireless Professor of Salt Lake City.
Helenic culture she obtained through heedful schooling;
Eclectic knowledge led her to scientific notion...
Linguistics history, rhetoric, poems' motion;
English Professor revered for didatic ruling...
No richness' brightness can ever dim her devotion.
Mailinally of the Fifth Sun: The Slave Girl Who
Change the Fate of Mexico and Spain's destiny,
Her last book with nonpareil narrative and view...
English domains, her golden letters legacy,
Inspiring scroll etched on the history's stone glows.
Grand act of a courageous soul's militancy.
Her Pen brought from the old days the intimacy, The Secret Love Story in Shakespeare's Sonnets shows Sovereign giving up godship to make love for life...
Majesty and mother, the fruit of their love grows,
A virgin to be known for the throne right's... a wife
Never be; the child's mystery history knows... First Captured, Last Freed: Memoirs of a P.O.W. in World
War II Guam and Japan leads one to understand
The Voice of the Vanquished: The Story of the Slave
Marina and Hernan Cortes that endorses the great Quill;
Generous Quill, a Pen that transcribes facts of Man
On merit, tails, light verse and poetry's free skill;
Romantic history that flows on peace and war, can
Define character of time, and depict the soul's will...
Oh, Mother Poet, keep Your light on this Lady's pen
Near, warm her cerebrating engine to teach all men!
N.B.: Line twenty. The abbreviation, "P.O.W.", please,
read as one syllable, like in the word "LOW".

Reviews of "Dr. Helen Heightsman Gordon (Tribute)"
The day belongs to 7+ billion souls. Without the day there wouldn't be any food for all those souls.
It was good comparing the stages of life with the stages of the day, but as I recall from my youth, the night was for carefree dancing, drinking and a little bit of that play that ended up creating all those 7+ billion souls. ;-)
From the Caribbean Sea to Machu Picchu in Peru, and from birds to flowers and butterflies, Reflections and Treasured Wonders offers a collection of images gathered from around the world.
These timeless quotations culled from the celebrated corpus of writings by W.E.B. Du Bois are presented with illuminating introductory essays by Aberjhani. Narration of the Audible book performed by Catherine Byers.
