Forging of Passion into Power/Dedication

by Mary Everest Boole

 

To
H. M.
IN MEMORY OF
"FRANCES OBRENOVITCH"
ADVISER OF
THE TEMPTED AND DESPAIRING
IN A LAND OF SLAVES

On the few occasions when you and I have met, we have disagreed on nearly every point of which we have spoken.

⁠But we are linked together by a three-fold cord. We have in common the friendship of "Frances Ohrenovitch" and also that nostalgia of the abyss and that passion for the despised and rejected which have been the common basis of character of the greatest saints and the most abandoned sinners, the most hopeless mental wrecks and the most eminent scientific discoverers of all ages.
