Addressing
A Sonnet on Seeing the Fairest Lady F Doing Glasswork
That is true beauty: that doth argue you
To be divine and borne of heavenly seed:
- SPENSER
O Heavenly Beauty! Hold me by Thine Hand,
And Burn with Azure Flames; so disappears
My Firmness, Passion glowing. Yet Cast your Fears
Aside. My Tenderness Invites Thee to Bend,
Turn, Draw, Ingraft, Pierce, Wound with Bough, and Tend
My Flesh. Then Cold, Deforme'd, Brittle wears
Ungrateful This, yet Willing Thee, and Sears
Inside, despite no Heat: It seems no Fend.
But Kindle That again, me Kindly Warm
In Love, and so my Vitreous Mind Inspire
With Sweet Cool Air and Kisses: Thus Reform
My Straightness, Clarity, Strength, and Desire.
'Tis Just Quaint Art to Make my Shape Conform
Within the Eyes that Quench all ire by Fire.
H. G. C. First Draft on Thursday, April 13, 2006. TO BE PUBLISHED SHORTLY.

The idea for this sonnet was conceived on a beautiful Thursday afternoon at
lab while I doing one somewhat mechanical experiment and looking at a fair
lady nearby working on glass. Similar treatments of theme and conceit may be
traced back to John Donne and Edward Taylor in their religious verse.
Glass-processing, in short, is done first by making the softened glass
(by heating with flame) into the shape desired. Then to prevent strain in the
product due to rash cooling, annealing must apply by heating under lower
temperature and blowing. This is my first attempt to the Petrarchan pattern.
