#3 Bio-Poem of Madeleine L'Engle (b. 1918- d.2007)

Madeleine,

Spiritual, passionate, giving, universal,

Daughter and only child of Madeleine and Charles Camp.

Lover of exploration; knowledge; and husband, actor Hugh Franklin;

Who felt the mystery of life at all times, the beauty and metaphor of the Bible (which she read each day of her life) and the need to express these unknowables for over 50 years.

Who needed introspection, guidance from God, and love of family,

Who gave lectures around the country, reflective written thoughts on her living theology, and untold meaning to her countless readers.

Who feared some passages of Scripture, mystic inspiration, and the unknown through characters like Meg in "A Wrinkle in Time",

Who would have liked to seen peace among all peoples, world community, and spiritual meaning and truth.

Resident of Goshen, Connecticut; her home called Crosswicks, and New York.
