M.R.HYDE - Author/Artist: July 2019

About the Author/Artist

M.R. Hyde celebrates and explores the known and spiritual world by writing for Christian religious purposes and by penning fiction and poetry for the sheer joy of words. While working full-time in non-artistic realms, M.R. Hyde has been a practicing artist for many years. During the COVID-19 pandemic and isolation a renewed push into the arts launched her into a desire to capture more broadly the animal world and put some positive artistic work out into the world.

Quotations on Literature

To the Christian his own temperament and experience, as mere fact, and as merely his, are of no value or importance whatsoever: he will deal with them, if at all, only because they are the medium through which, or the position from which, something universally profitable appeared to him.

He will do it if it happens to be the thing he can do best . . . It is to him an argument not of strength but of weakness that he should respond fully to the vision only 'in his own way'. And always, of every idea and of every method he will ask not 'Is it mine?', but 'Is it good?'

He has no objection to the comedies that merely amuse and tales that merely refresh; for he thinks like Thomas Aquinas . . . We can play as we can eat, to the glory of God.

--C.S. Lewis

Two Small Poems

Ancient Jealousies

These ancient jealousies

Twisting and pounding

Through generations

Mutilating flesh

Annihilating minds

Eviscerating personalities

These ancient jealousies

must go.

In the Air

The linemen play

Chinese jump rope

As a large-breasted crane

flys overhead.
