It is hoped that the current volume provides a satisfactory cross-section of the range of his content and style, and that it will give pleasure to the widest and most varied audience of readers as possible - I am sure this was the intent of the author, else why write prose or verse at all? You will not find here the expression of one uniform sentiment throughout - no, rather more of a kaleidoscope of feelings and a spectrum of subjects and moments. At some times serious, at others humoristic, sometimes romantic and at others almost mystic - it is hard to describe the work of Edouard d'Araille in a polarized way. For the order and content of this work, I, the publisher, must take responsibility, though there was consultation throughout with the author. Beyond that, the words of the poems must speak for themselves, I can give no introduction.\" - Alderson Smith, London, 2001. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003ethe starless depths\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eI step\u003cbr\u003einto the\u003cbr\u003estarless depths \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003egarland of night\u003cbr\u003edraped over\u003cbr\u003emy chest \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eI grow\u003cbr\u003einto the\u003cbr\u003einfinite spaces \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003etime\u003c\/i\u003e, are you ready\u003cbr\u003eto meet me now? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eyou will know me\u003cbr\u003ewhen you find me \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eyou will expect me\u003cbr\u003ewhen I have arrived \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eI do not know\u003cbr\u003ewho you\u003cbr\u003eare -\u003cbr\u003ebut I do\u003cbr\u003enot want to\u003cbr\u003ehold myself back\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edouard D'Araille\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1903331374\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781903331378\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Living Time Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/08\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 146\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.31d","brand":"Edouard D'Araille","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48487363150079,"sku":"9781903331378","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fa880f5c-6609-416f-952f-36dbfc3ed452.jpg?v=1778060054","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/poesia-nueva-edouard-daraille-9781903331378","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
