Benedicta Froelich

Aurens: a Poem for T.e.l. Benedicta Froelich

A poem dedicated to T. E. Lawrence, the famous 'Lawrence of Arabia' of the First World War: one of the most mysterious and fascinating figures of world history and literature, yet often misunderstood and maligned by modern commentators. This poem is published as a small token of affection towards a man that never ceases to teach and amaze his readers and biographers, and towards whom anyone with love for what lifts the soul above the mundanity of everyday life should feel some gratitude.
