Like some lone sentry in his tower, His patient watch in silence […]

06.07.13 “We were left alone with the night hawks…their dry and unmusical, yet supermundane and spirit-like voices and sounds gave fit expression to this rocky mountain solitude…it was a thrumming of the mountain’s rocky chords; strains from the music of Chaos, such as were heard when the earth was rent and these rocks heaved up.” […]

Ashuelot River Inspiration

May 20, 2013September 19, 2013 Lisa Wiley 1 Comment
