Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'A Lover's Diary' is a collection of sonnets that reveal the young, aspiring, and candid mind of the author, Gilbert Parker. The sonnets are written over a period of seven years, and the reader can see the change in style and thought between the beginning and end of the book. Although the sonnets deal with the theme of hopeless love, they are lifted by self-renunciation and end with a poignant and permanent parting. Included titles are 'Revealing', 'Overcoming', 'As Light Leaps Up', and 'The Darkened Way'. Here's an excerpt from 'Revealing': " The prescience of dreams struck walls away / From mortal fact, and mortal fact revealed / With myriad voices, potencies concealed / In the dim birth-place of a coming day."
