You have believed in me and what
l am trying to do; when thu world
laughed at my dreams you smote its
face with the %fierceness of a woman
who shields its own; in those crea-
tive hours, when the Voices called
and l dared not disobey-when that
which was not, became-you were
near, fusing your breath and praying
with mine, and when I have stagger-
ed under the weight of things, and
reached out in the darkness, always,
always you have put yourself under
my hand to stay and steady me. And
when, in that later day of victory,
when l and what l do are justified
to the world, and I lie prone with
WEAKNESS, as victors always lie at
the battles end, you will but kneel
beside me and smile into my eyes
-ah, that, indeed, will be to me the
