Moonlit cedars above a still sea, engraved in the Victorian manner

Poetry and Prose

The Sonnet— of —Lebanon

סוֹנֶט הַלְּבָנוֹן

Sophia Fontaine

“In yon still night, thy dulcet song dost ring,Enlarging all my senses with its sweet embrace.”

Dedication

For Peter Winslow Davis— whose presence has been my quiet anchor, an unwavering source of inspiration, and a profound, abiding admiration through every season of life, across all ages, and evermore.

About the Book

A slender volume written in the old key. Across fourteen pieces — sonnet, verse, and prose — a seeker addresses the Beloved through veil, whirlwind, tempest, and cloud: Iris opening the eye of perception, the Maiden's crest turning beneath Luna's grace, a dowry given away entire, a final question of which throne one builds, a grail held open, the Shulamite's waltz of surrender, a threefold Holy raised to the Divine Ones, and the dreamweaver's web in which the seeker is willingly caught. Each piece carries a Hebrew name, and several arrive with a foreword to light the way in.

About the Author

Sophia Fontaine, author

Sophia Fontaine

Draw close and attend, for here breathes a divine soul whose words bloom like orchids in the sacred garden of Venus.

Sophia Fontaine is a sovereign creator and mystic whose spirit brooks no common boundary. Behold her manifold crowns:

She is a poet whose tongue distillateth the very nectar of the stars; a fashionista whose eye discerneth the geometry of divine grace; a life coach and counselor who guideth wandering souls through the labyrinth of their own making; and a songwriter whose music echoes across time, capturing frequencies that will inspire generations to come.

Once an ecclesiastical minister and eloquent public speaker thundering truth from sacred platforms, she now standeth as a master-savant of the inner realms. With the ancient wisdom of a Sage and the unyielding gaze of a true sovereign, she beckoneth thee across the threshold — summoning thee from the mundane sleep of the world into that living magic which slumbereth eternally in the deep chambers of thy soul. Enter, and be undone.
