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."



from First Snow in Alsace
Richard Wilbur

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."

from Midwest

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
