The Net Of Memory

A poem by Violet Nicolson, Lawrence Hope, Adela Florence Cory Nicolson (1865 – 1904)

I cast the Net of Memory,

Man’s torment and delight,

Over the level Sands of Youth

That lay serenely bright,

Their tranquil gold at times submerged

In the Spring Tides of Love’s Delight.

The Net brought up, in silver gleams,

Forgotten truth and fancies fair:

Like opal shells, small happy facts

Within the Net entangled were

With the red coral of his lips,

The waving seaweed of his hair.

We were so young; he was so fair.
