TO

"MISTRESS ANNE"

TO REMIND HER OF THE DAYS WHEN SHE, TOO, WAS GRAVE WITH YOUNG CARE AND WEIGHTED DOWN WITH THE PROBLEMS OF A WHOLE UNIVERSE; TO RECALL TO HER SOME OF THOSE TEAR-BRIGHT DREAMS OF THE FUTURE WHOSE REALIZATION IS ALREADY A POSSIBILITY ONLY OF THE PAST; TO BE TO HER A SOUVENIR AND FOND REMEMBRANCER OF HER OWN YOUTH.
