The night-crow cried, aboding luckless time;
Dogs howl'd, and hideous tempest shook down trees;'

I literally woke up with this song playing in my head. Had to listen to it after breakfast. 😌

I suddenly remembered other moments of time spent in this landscape, time printed upon silence with all its real colours up, these separate moments, quite loose, not stitched together except by their parentage in the same quality of feeling. . . .

Pooh wandered into the Hundred Acre Wood, and was standing in front of what had once been Owl’s House. It didn’t look like a house now; it looked like a tree which had been blown down; and as soon as a house looks like that, it is time to find another one. ~A.A.Milne #StormBoelo

Belle Tout Lighthouse, Eric Ravilious, 1939. The lighthouse is located overlooking Beachy Head in East #Sussex on the @SouthDownsWayNT. The original Ravilious artwork was sold at @ChristiesInc in 2015 and I believe it is now in a private collection.

I got to know the great blue heron when I lived in Portsmouth a block from the Piscataqua River. Sam HAMILL got it right but he left out one thing: that single-note raucous time-splitting “call.” I was called by the religious frame of his eclogue—it IS, strictly, the Dark One.
