TO ARIEL AMY GWEN WILSON
Shakespeare dreamed you, Ariel, In a poet's ecstasy. I have loved and dare not tell Of your being's mystery.
Ariel, from Shakespeare's dream Flown into my love on earth, You shall help me to redeem Love and truth denied their birth.
In a world by Caliban Brutalised and done to death, We will weave a spell that Man May in freedom draw his breath.
