Excerpt from Gold-Thread, and Other Poems These poems are published by the urgent re quest oi friends, many of whose faces I have never seen, whose hands have never been clasped in mine, but whose sweet sympathies have sprung into life and linked our hearts even as the beauti ful gold-thread, which creeps through the Silent darkness of the ground and links its marvelous nerve-like tendrils together in thousands of insep arable ties, sending up now and then a pure white blossom that makes the world more fragrant and lovely - we know not how. I have called my book gold-thread, for it seems to me its contents have sprung out of the hidden intensities of my woman's heart; that in it and with it lie the deepest sorrows and sweetest joys I have ever known.
