The Freedom of the Hills

Oh! What a joy it were in vigorous health,

To have a body, (this our vital frame

With shrinking sensibility endued,

And all the nice regards of flesh and blood)

And to the elements surrender it

As if it were a spirit! - How divine,

The liberty for frail, for mortal man

To roam at large among unpeople glens

And Mountainous retirements, only trod

By devious footsteps; regions consecrate

To oldest time! and reckless of the storm

That keeps the raven quiet in her rest,

Be as a presence or a motion, - one

Among the many there; and while the mists

Flying, and rainy vapors, call out shapes

And phantoms from crags and solid earth

As fast as musician scatters sounds

Out of an instrument; and while the streams

(As at a flight creation and in haste

To exercise their untried faculties)

Descending from the region of the clouds,

And starting from the hollows of the earth

More multitudinous every moment, rend

Their way before them - what a joy to roam

An equal among mightiest energies;

And happy sometimes with articulate voice,

Amid the deafening tumult, scarcely heard

By him that utters it, exclaim aloud,

"Be this continued so from day to day,

Nor let the fierce commotion have to end,

Ruinous through it be, from month to month!"

- Thomas Starr King

Have you ever stepped off the trail
to look more closely at the ladyslipper
and turning back, noticed the forest closed in behind you?
The trail invisible, disappeared
as if it never was.

A look into the past -
before there was one true path, determined by men.
Or is it the future?
When the world will reclaim all paths as true.

"I came," she [Oedipa Maas] said, "hoping you could talk me out of a fantasy."

"Cherish it!" cried [Dr.] Hilarius, fiercely. "What else do any of you have? Hold it tightly by its little tentacle, don't ket the Freudians coax it away or the pharmacists poison it out of you. Whatever it is, hold it dear, for when you lose it you go over by that much to the others. You begin to cease to be."

Remembering D Day

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we live
in Flanders fields.

Take up our quarel with the foes
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders field.

- Lt. Col. John McCrae (1872 - 1918) [lies buried in Flanders field]

"To be heading into the inexerable...where no mother will care for us...no woman crosses our path...where only reality reigns...with cruelty and grandeur."

The Maiden:
"It's all over! alas, it's all over now!
Go, savage man of bone!
I am still young - go, devoted one!
and do not molest me."

Death:
"Give me your hand, you fair and tender form!
I am a friend; I do not come to punish.
Be of good cheer! I am not savage.
You shall sleep gently in my arms."

This poem is the inspiration for Schubert's melancholic and sublime "Death and the Maiden" string quartet.
