Hold Fast Your Dreams

(Louise Driscoll)

Hold fast your dreams!
Within your heart
Keep one still, secret spot
Where dreams may go,
And, sheltered so,
May thrive and grow
Where doubt and fear are not.
O keep a place apart,
Within you heart,
For little dreams to go!

Think still of lovely things that are not true.
Let wish and magic work at will in you.
Be sometimes blind to sorrow. Make believe!
Forget the calm that lies
In disillusioned eyes.
Though we all know that we must die,
Yet you and I
May walk like gods and be
Even now at home in immortality.

We see so many ugly things -
Deceits and wrongs and quarrelings;
We know, alas! we know
How quickly fade
The color in the west,
The bloom upon the flower,
The bloom upon the breast
And youth's blind hour.
A place apart
Where little dreams may go,
May thrive and grow,
Hold fast - hold fast your dreams!

Thanks for taking a look at the two "Maxim Gunn" books. Always nice to know someone is curious. If you enjoyed those and are interested there are more (6 total) at http://www.smashwords.com - got to pay for those I'm afraid.

Good grief! We are now up 300+ books to 990 books in common! My highest match, almost 50% of my books but only 10% of yours. Where do you keep them all?

I see you are adding one of my favorite authors to your library. Demon Breed is perhaps my favorite, but I enjoy Schmitz writing tremendously. I was very happy when Baen brought out the collected works at the beginning of this decade, as there were some of the older books of short stories that were almost impossible to find! We are now up to 685 books in common.

Wow, Dumarest of Terra. I have not thought of them for years. I'll have to get them out and reread them.
(I'm just starting my library, so they are not in mine yet)

Hi, I see you've cataloged Up-Tight (Doolie's Private Goddess) by Dick Winfield. Is this the same as Doolie's Private Goddess, or perhaps a sequel?
