I Ha e Buildcd A Shrine From driftwood carefully gathered along the shore I have builded a shrine; Others have more magnificent structures — and more Driftwood — their arms have been longer than mine. But four years I have gathered, and now my temple — Weak where I am weak, strong where I am strong — Is my only possession of triumph — Frozen music — my only song. No diamonds glitter there for the few passers-by: Thieves, should they enter, wouldn ' t care For the things they could find: to them, worthless — still I Find the worlds I have hidden there. It has cost me much, this temple abode — Heartache and sleepless nights and tears — This one stalwart corner is an inscribed ode To one of those building years: Yes, the cost has been great: to gather driftwood Has meant many a futile trip: I have built it slowly, as best I could: I am proud of my craftsmanship. My temple isn ' t decorated: I ' ve only begun: It can never be finished while I Have eye to sight the bits of driftwood That would pass the idler by. Forever, like the gulls. I shall haunt the shore. Bit by bit I shall add to my shrine: Driftwood is eternal: if I search out the more. Whose arms can be longer than mine. ' Leroy Sossamon. Puge Twenty-eight
