serenade
by edgar allen poe

so sweet the hour, so calm the time,
i feel it more than half a crime,
when nature sleeps and stars are mute
to mar the silence ev'n with lute.
5 at rest on ocean's brilliant dyes
an image of elysium lies:
seven pleiades entranced in heaven,
form in the deep another seven:
endymion nodding from above ,
10 sees in the sea a second love.
within the valleys dim and brown,
and on the spectral mountain's crown,
the wearied light is dying down,
and earth, and stars, and sea, and sky
15 are redolent of sleep, as i
am redolent of thee and thine
enthralling love, my adeline.
but list, o list, so soft and low
thy lover's voice tonight shall flow,
20 that, scarce awake, thy soul shall deem
my words the music of a dream.
thus, while no single sound too rude
upon thy slumber shall intrude,
our thoughts, our souls o god above!
25 in every deed shall mingle, love.

edmund spenser and john bunyan also influenced hawthorne. : )

at nineteen years old, nicole c. kear's biggest concern is choosing a major--until she walks into a doctor's office in midtown manhattan and gets a life-changing diagnosis. she is going blind, courtesy of an eye disease called retinitis pigmentosa, and has only a decade or so before lights out. instead of making preparations as the doctor suggests, kear decides to carpe diem and make the most of the vision she has left. she joins circus school, tears through boyfriends, travels the world, and through all these hi-jinks, she keeps her vision loss a secret.

when kear becomes a mother, just a few years shy of her vision's expiration date, she amends her carpe diem strategy, giving up recklessness in order to relish every moment with her kids. her secret, though, is harder to surrender - and as her vision deteriorates, harder to keep hidden. as her world grows blurred, one thing becomes clear: no matter how hard she fights, she won't win the battle against blindness. but if she comes clean with her secret, and comes to terms with the loss, she can still win her happy ending
