It reads:

"The title of this book is taken from "Lady Rosemary," a poem by C. S. 
Cooney;  and this book is dedicated to them."

That's it.  Three possibilities (as far as I can see):  Cooney is an 
obscure poet (and Wolfe does seem to have some obscure things in his 
library); something's misprinted; or someone's doing some leg-pulling.  
Thanks for the feedback!
