The Shadow of the Sundial
The shadow of the sundial
lengthens on the lawn.
From a visit to a mansion
that memory is torn.
The silence of the nursery
deepens in the shade.

“This is my song for Gabriel,
The Angel of the Word,
I've sung to you so many times,
This time I may be heard.
I sing to you from fellowship,
Past times I sang alone,
But now I can extend my love
To wood and air and stone.
Your golden wings have cradled me,
Your voice has made me kneel,
Your actions turn the universe,
Your wisdom spins the wheel.
This is my song for Abraham,
The shepherd of mankind,
You led your tribe out from Canaan,
And none were left behind.
O, come, fulfil your prophecies,
And say the war is won,
Must I wait in vales of visions,
And leave my song undone?”
― Angel War

“And chiefly thou, O spirit, that dost prefer
Before all temples the upright heart and pure,
Instruct me, for thou know'st. Thou from the first
Wast present, and, with mighty wings outspread,
Dove-like sattest brooding on the vast abyss,
And madst it pregnant.”

Of wet and of wildness? Let them be left,
O let them be left, wildness and wet;

Philip Dodd is a great author. His books are masterpieces in literature.
Dear Philip.Thank you so much for acepting my friendship request here on Goodreads. I am shortly to be starting an online Degree in English Literature! I really look forward to future book discussions with you, including Tolkien and writing (as i am also working on my first novel).
Kind Regards
