SUMMER DREAMING

Watercolor by S. Auberle

"What we did as we climbed, and what we talked of

matters not much.

Nor to what it led...something that life will not be

balked of

without rude reason till hope is dead, and feeling fled.

It filled but a minute.

But was there ever a time of such quality since, or

before in that hill's story?"

- Thomas Hardy
