His is a story of restlessness and seeking, of a boy so frail he was warmed in a stove's oven, who later rode the rails through the Depression, danced in borrowed moments, and walked through the darkness of war as a scout behind enemy lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe second voice is myth-an allegorical poem titled \"The Crown of Original Remembering,\" which tells of a primordial Man who once wore a Crown of silence and walked with a Woman who pulsed within him like rhythm itself. Together they tended a Field of Soul until curiosity turned the Man outward, and he walked into exile, building a Marketplace where memory became commodity, and the Crown became rumor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The poem traces his wandering through a desert of half-remembering until the Woman returns-not to rescue him, but to help him unearth what he had buried beneath his own motion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe third voice is meaning-this analytical essay, which seeks to illuminate the pattern that runs beneath both narrative and poem, to name the archetypes at work, and to show how two ordinary lives in Minnesota and North Dakota embody an eternal journey of human consciousness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ronald Wayne Copeland\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798240930577\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Copeland Hydronics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/16\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.56d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLarge Print\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Ronald Wayne Copeland","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48874724131071,"sku":"9798240930577","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-garland-of-rosemarys-memory-ronald-wayne-copeland-9798240930577","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
