Queen of the Seven Swords

I just bid for and won a book off of eBay by GK Chesterton called the "Queen of the Seven Swords." The book description discusses poems written by Chesterton about the seven sorrows of the Blessed Virgin Mary predicted when Jesus was brought to the temple for circumcision. It really put everything together in my mind....Queen...Heaven....Swords. It contrasts with the Queen of Swords from the Tarot cards et al. Not that I have been successful reading the poetry, but the described idea works for me.
