There is a Victorian road I can always find,
even in a strange land.

Emily Quote . . .
I took up my favored pen,
and the meter of the salt roar,
the splendid gathering of stony shells
and aged driftwood
splashed off the pages
of the handmade paper, enameled
with rose blossoms and leaves,
for the retrieving of countries
almost lost
in the density of ocean,
for the salve of a wound time has marred.
Emily Isaacson, A Familiar Shore
