Presenting a portrait-bust of the author. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Since you, rare friend! have tied my living tongue <br /> With thanks more large than man e'er said or sung, <br />So let the dumbness of this image be <br /> My eloquence, and still interpret me.<br /><br />Sidney Lanier<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/to-dr-thomas-shearer/
