Hi Steven -

Hope you are well,

Can you help me out here, As part of my course one of my modules is to design a conceptual contemporary garden.

I choose a healing garden that incorporates principles of spiritual devlopment, and I based the whole concept around a poem that I discovered on your blog, when I was looking for inspiration, back in september.

Its a poem by H.D - it reads something like,

Lift the veil dividing me from me,
and heal the scars my searing helmet made,
and draw me forwards, unafraid as the immortals,

- Ive designed a garden in 3stages finding meataphors witihn the garden for these 3 processes ..

The trouble is I havent yet ascertained the name of the poet or the name of the work .. (it might Be Hilda Dolittle, but I cannot find the poem on the internet)

Do you know the poets name, and what the poems title is ?

I need to include this information with my design statement soon ...

Bless

Ray

Hi Ray

The poetess is indeed Hilda Doolittle.

The fragment I quoted is from a long rambling poem the name of which I forget, and I don't have my books with me so can't look it up. The book is: H.D. (Hilda Doolittle), Collected Poems, 1912-44, New Directions Publishing
