Book of Counted Sorrows

Aeryn · 11-01-2002, 09:24 PM

I have never been able to find this book.
But Stephen King and Dean Koontz have used excerpts in their books, from this book.
So will someone please inform me who wrote the book of counted sorrows?

(Some Sorrows wisdom)
In the real world
As in dreams
Nothing is quite
What it seems
~~~~
Life without meaning
Cannot be borne
We find a mission
to which we are sworn
or answer the call
of Death's dark horn
without a gleaning
of purpose in life
we have no vision
we have no strife
or let blood fall
on suicide knife
~~~~
Nowhere can a secret keep
always secret, dark and deep
half so well as in the past
buried deep to last, to last
Keep it in our own dark heart
otherwise the rumors start
After many years have buried
secrets over which you worried
no confidant can then betray
all the words you didn't say
Only you can then exhume
secrets safe within the tomb
of memory, of memory
within the tomb of memory
~~~~~
That's all I got off the top of my head.

Dean Koontz himself wrote it

OOPS no he didn't, he only wrote the introduction in the version I have, it's in .doc format but doesn't give an actual author

Er, Okay!
Then who really wrote it Coney?
