Affection seldom declares itself all at once. It often advances by degrees, through regard, patience, restraint, and hope until it becomes something steady enough to be trusted.Most Ardently Yours: The Lexicon Of Affection is a collection of epistolary verse written as a record of how affection draws us into a quiet alignment. A correspondence where the gradual formation of a shared understanding becomes a private lexicon between devoted minds.For those who have loved with patience, who have waited without certainty, or who believe that the deepest attachments are shaped in silence as much as speech, these pages offer recognition and refuge. For those who understand that affection, once returned, becomes a kind of home, these letters are written, most ardently, for you.
