! A Platonic Reminiscence Of A Great Lady
Someone mentioned your name yesterday
and I was silent
You loved goodness, you were goodness,
and I think goodness must have
loved you; and we,
we loved you for your goodness
You loved truth, spoke truth,
and surely the truth
loved you for loving it; and how
we loved to hear you
speaking truth
You loved beauty in
so many ways that beauty
blessed you: in movement,
in actions, in thought, in words and yes
the beauty of goodness and
the beauty of truth shone from you –
how could we not love you
beyond you?
How often in this poem to you
the word love appears
as it did
in you
Lisa, she was my philosophy tutor, and brought life with her.
The emotions are simply amazing... I was captivated by the first line: 'Someone mentioned your name yesterday and I was silent' Thank you. N.D.
What a beautiful mark this lady obviously made on your life. She must've been quite a special person to leave such thoughts to come to mind with just the mention of her name. How nice. Sincerely, Mary
