In calm or stormy weather;
To cheer one on the tedious way,
To fetch one if one goes astray,
To lift one if one totters down,
To strengthen whilst one stands.
― Christina Rossetti, Goblin Market and Other Poems
There was so much time that marvelous summer.
Day after day, mist rose from the meadow as the sky lightened and hedges,
barns and woods took shape until, at last,
the long curving back of the hills lifted away from the Plain.
It was a sort of stage-magic.
― J.L. Carr, A Month in the Country
