—Stella Chess (20th century)

“Softly, in the dusk, a woman is singing to me;
Taking me back down the vista of years, till I see
A child sitting under the piano, in the boom of the tingling strings
And pressing the small, poised feet of a mother who smiles as she
sings.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)

That floats on high o’er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;”
