As the train drew in it was easy to distinguish her in the crowd on the platform, slim and straight in her black and white dress, a wing of bright hair against her little black hat. How pale her face was and how blue her eyes? After the sorrow, after the separation, it was an almost unbearable happiness to be together again." (p.102) Of their Summers together "Our laughter would mingle with the laughter of the loon, as we dipped our oars into the dark water and saw the great red moon rise out of the wood. Even then there was no lapping of the lake on the shore- fust a breathless tropic stillness.." (p.103) Mazo's poem to Caroline To C. How kind the moon is to the night As you are kind to me, Making It's cloistered darkness bright Making its darkness fair to see. The gentle moon with silver clothes That mounted in darkness drear, As yougive your sweet radiance To make me smile when you are near. In silence dreams the lonely night, Until the moon ere long Awakes a bird to voice delight As in my heart you wake a song. [To my dear Carolyn The Story of Delight is Lovingly Inscribed Christmas 1925] (p. 109) Back to Mazo de la Roche's Bio
