Gordon of Khartoum

In soul he conquered with those nerveless hands.
His country's pride and her abasement knell
The Man of England circled by the sands.

2. Modern Love. Sonnet 27. Distraction is the Panacea, Sir!
3. Angela Burdett-Coutts
4. Modern Love. Sonnet 23. 'Tis Christmas Weather
5. Modern Love. Sonnet 2. It Ended
