Long Distance [1919]

by LovelyMay — Long Distance opens with a striking contrast: Chet Ball, once a rugged lineman from Chicago, now rests in a quiet English hospital room, painting a wooden chicken with hands more familiar with climbing poles than holding a brush. His broad shoulders and sun-worn face seem almost out of place amid the dainty surroundings of Reconstruction Hospital No. 9. Though the toy he paints is small and colorful, it stands as a powerful symbol of how far removed he is from the grit and peril of his past life. The room…

Living

by LovelyMay — Living begins not with celebration, but with quiet questioning. It asks what it means to live fully when one hasn’t built monuments or left behind famous words. The narrator wonders whether a life with no great deeds is still worth something. There’s no shame in not being widely known, the poem implies, as long as something good was done. To have lived with purpose, even briefly, carries weight. When a person gives their best effort to something greater than themselves, that becomes their…

LETTER–To W. M. Thackeray

by LovelyMay — Letter to W. M. Thackeray opens with a tone free of rivalry or self-interest, allowing full appreciation of a writer whose literary grace has outlived the age that birthed it. Your work is remembered not as a product of duty, but of inspiration that struck with the urgency of truth.

LETTER–To Theocritus

by LovelyMay — Letter to Theocritus opens with a quiet reverence for the music of your verse, the kind that lingers like honey on the tongue or like the scent of warm thyme on a sunlit hillside. You wrote not just about shepherds and nymphs, but about a way of life untouched by ambition and marked by simple, golden joys. One wonders if the afterlife, should it exist, ever matched the beauty of your Sicilian days or whether your soul still roams valleys framed by olive trees and distant blue seas. Your lines gave those…

LETTER–To Sir Walter Scott, Bart.

by LovelyMay — Letter to Sir Walter Scott, Bart begins with a tone that feels both personal and respectful, as the writer draws an image of Scott that is more than just literary—he is described like an old friend, always present in the background of one’s imagination. This connection does not fade with time, for the warmth of Scott’s character, his fairness, and his almost selfless joy in life leave behind an impression that no history book could erase. Whether he had risen to fame or remained a quiet figure…

LETTER–To Robert Burns

by LovelyMay — Letter to Robert Burns begins not with solemn tribute but with the familiar cadence of fondness, both for the man and the myth he became. You were not just Scotland’s poet—you were its pulse, its raw nerve, its laughter after loss. Your name, once printed in Kilmarnock, echoed far beyond the fields of Ayr, finding kinship in places where hearts break and songs rise to meet the pain. When Scots raise a glass in your name, it is not just nostalgia. It is recognition of something unshaped by…

LETTER–To Q. Horatius Flaccus

by LovelyMay — Letter to Q. Horatius Flaccus begins with a quiet, searching tone, reflecting on whether the poet, in whatever place death may have led him, still enjoys the charm of country walks and city wit. The question is gentle, almost rhetorical, asking not for doctrine but for imagination. What becomes of the mind so deeply tuned to beauty, friendship, and moderation? The letter doesn’t aim to solve the mystery of the afterlife—it accepts the uncertainty. Unlike Virgil’s bold journeys into shadowy realms,…
