Story
Worldly Ways and Byways
Worldly Ways and Byways by Eliot Gregory is a collection of essays published in 1898 that humorously critiques social etiquette, cultural norms, and the manners of the late 19th century. Gregory offers witty commentary on topics such as American versus European manners, the superficiality of certain social customs, and the influence of wealth on society. The essays, written in a light-hearted and satirical tone, provide an insightful glimpse into the social mores of the Gilded Age, making it both a delightful and thought-provoking read on human nature and social sophistication.-

Chapter
VERSE: Two Worlds
Two Worlds begins by immersing the reader in a vision of creation unspoiled—a realm where everything sings in harmony with the divine. God’s world, as depicted, pulses with beauty that transcends form: light glides over valleys, stars dance in ordered rhythm, and every breeze carries the tone of affection. There, strength is not harsh but gentle, and beauty is not vain but noble, shaped by the balance only divine intention can bestow. Light, more than mere illumination, becomes a tender garment draped…-

The Story of the Faithful Soul begins with a legend born from sacred lore, where unseen worlds intertwine with lingering human emotion. It follows a spirit caught not by sin, but by sorrow—hovering between salvation and memory. During the holy time known as Our Lady’s Peace, most spirits bask in a gentle reprieve, released briefly from their pain. Yet one cry echoes louder than the rest, piercing the stillness of the blessed pause. This cry belongs to a soul unable to surrender to peace, tethered not…

VERSE: The Carver’s Lesson
The Carver’s Lesson speaks to those who create not with their hands alone, but with their hearts and convictions woven into every detail. The speaker urges that skill, while essential, is not the highest virtue of art. What truly matters is the message that breathes quietly through each carved form—a whisper of peace, kindness, or truth hidden in wood or stone. A carved rose should carry more than beauty; it should soften a heart or inspire a thought. This lesson isn’t just for sculptors—it’s for…-

VERSE: Philip and Mildred
Philip and Mildred opens in a moment marked not by celebration, but by sorrow cloaked in tenderness. In the hush of early evening, the two lovers walk slowly through a valley that once echoed with the laughter of their shared dreams. This was to be their wedding day, yet instead of vows before family, they exchange promises beneath a darkening sky. Philip, drawn away by recognition he never sought but cannot refuse, leaves not for glory but for purpose. Mildred, though aching with loss, urges him forward,…-

Chapter
VERSE: Optimus
Optimus opens with a caution that speaks directly to the well-meaning heart—the kind of person stirred by the sight of undone work, by silence when action is needed, and by the weight of tasks that seem to have been abandoned. A voice, noble in tone but dangerous in intent, whispers that it is right to step in and take on what others have left behind. It presents itself as a call to heroism, dressed in selflessness, yet it carries within it the seed of imbalance. The poem reveals this temptation as…-

Chapter
VERSE: My Will
My Will begins not with possessions, but with presence—the kind of presence that lingers even after parting. The speaker, without land or riches to leave behind, chooses instead to pass on pieces of their spirit. These are not grand inheritances of gold, but memories, encouragement, and affection sculpted by time and care. Each recipient is offered something deeply personal: a name carried with tenderness, a task that echoes shared conviction, or a love untouched by bitterness. These gifts are quiet, yet…-

Chapter
VERSE: Light and Shade
Light and Shade begins by recognizing the quiet strength in those who carry both joy and pain without complaint. Life is not a straight path of constant brightness, nor is it always shadowed. Instead, it unfolds in shifting tones—sunlight filtered through passing clouds. The poem invites readers to see this interplay not as confusion, but as richness. By embracing contrast, we learn how to feel more deeply, connect more honestly, and live more fully. What comforts one day may not work the next, yet that,…-

VERSE: Discouraged
Discouraged begins with a gentle discovery—a tiny stream barely visible beneath layers of moss, its quiet murmur inviting curiosity. The speaker follows it with innocent wonder, seeing in its path a reflection of hope and quiet promise. There’s companionship in the stream’s rhythm, and an unspoken agreement forms: the journey toward the sea will be shared. As the stream dances past heather and tumbles through hills, joy blooms from the unplanned exploration. It’s a journey both outward and inward,…-

VERSE: Beyond
Beyond opens with a deliberate stripping away of the world’s temporary crowns—pride, status, intellect, wealth, and control. These may dazzle while we walk the earth, but their light fades swiftly in the presence of eternity. The poem does not rage against these constructs but gently reveals their inability to survive in the atmosphere of Heaven. There, nothing hollow can endure. Earthly accomplishments, impressive though they seem, are shadows when compared to the enduring flame of true love. It is…-
