There is a Victorian road I can always find,

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
