Jessie Ruth Dennis (Carruthers)

His beloved wife. When love is young, the hopeful speaks with fervid tongue, boasts heights of joy ne'er joy'd before by him who sought to scribe man's memory and tell the worth and height of his own passion, but later striven to greater heights, proves love yet greater, growing still, and day by day, and year by year, love's worth is wrought by seeing clear the worth of that fair being's soul and limb and eye. So study I each little item makes thee whole, those countless visions granted me! The Gods must love my love for thee. W.M. Dennis, 1944
