Whateley and the snow cone




 "The snow came down last night like moths
Burned on the moon; it fell till dawn,
Covered the town with simple cloths."

It looks like we can spend some time at the cabin this summer.


"Cocked in that land tactile as leaves
wild things wait crouched in those valleys
west of your city outside your lives
in the ultimate wind, the whole land's wave.
Come west and see; touch these leaves."

The Ghost of a Flea by William Blake




"fleas were inhabited by the souls of such men 

as were by nature blood thirsty to excess."

Work on the basement continues. I am also going thru old photos. Calgary Zoo lights.

 


"Tyger Tyger, burning bright, 
In the forests of the night; 
What immortal hand or eye, 
Could frame thy fearful symmetry? "

from The Tyger
