Book Details

Table of Contents

Conscience is but a word that cowards use
The whirligig of time brings in his revenges
To dive into the fire, to ride on the curled clouds
Some meteor that the sun exhales
The wide world and all her fading sweets
Vowing more than the perfection of ten
A foul and pestilent congregation of vapors
As the gentle rain from heaven
Against the stormy gusts of winter's day
Honor is a mere scutcheon
So strong a prop to support so weak a burden
Men must endure their going hence
Wipe off the dust that hides our scepter's gilt
Second childishness and mere oblivion
A tattered weed, of small worth held
Like a rich armor, worn in the heat of day
O tiger's heart wrapped in a woman's hide
Now, music, sound, and sing your solemn hymn
Like a fair house built on another man's ground
And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind
And when he falls, he falls like Lucifer
A tide in the affairs of men
What's gone and what's past help
Trifles light as air
That makes these odds all even
The web of our life is of a mingled yarn
Home art gone and taken thy wages
To feed on such sweet honey, and kill the bees
To burn this night with torches
Stones have been known to move
The thread of his verbosity
No other tribute at thy hands
My gracious silence, hail!

Work Description

A wounded heart, a healing grace. Plain and dutiful, Sophia Hess has lived most of her life without ever knowing genuine love. Her professor husband had married her for the convenience of having a typist for his scholarly papers. The discovery of a dark secret opens her eyes to the truth about her marriage and her husband. Eventually nephew Patrick and his wife, Rachel, take Sophia into their home, and she observes from a careful distance their earnest faith and the simple gifts of kindness they generously bestow upon her and others -- this in spite of an unthinkable tragedy they've suffered. Dare she unlock the door behind which she stalwartly conceals her broken heart? This book is an insightful and moving portrayal of the transforming power of love. - Publisher.
