I went for a walk at lunch the other day.

It is hard in the midst of the city to pretend you are in the wild wood.

But sometimes you have help

"This we’ll gladly hear-

a lonely, wild heart

that in limitless freedom

still finds its way to us."

“The Whole landscape drifted away to the north,

To Moose Factory, hundreds of miles, to the pole

And beyond, to the Arctic ends of the earth,”
