My second visit to this visual masterpiece and again words almost fail me. The colour texture and form are just perfect with just enough shadow detail to reveal an amazingly beautiful Moose. Elizabeth Bishop: “The Moose” From narrow provinces of fish and bread and tea, home of the long tides where the bay leaves the sea twice a day and takes the herrings long rides, where if the river enters or retreats in a wall of brown foam depends on if it meets the bay coming in, the bay not at home; where, silted red, sometimes the sun sets facing a red sea, and others, veins the flats\\\' lavender, rich mud in burning rivulets; on red, gravelly roads, down rows of sugar maples, past clapboard farmhouses and neat, clapboard churches, bleached, ridged as clamshells, past twin silver birches, . . . Its cold, round crystals form and slide and settle in the white hens\\\' feathers, in gray glazed cabbages, on the cabbage roses and lupins like apostles; the sweet peas cling to their wet white string on the whitewashed fences; bumblebees creep inside the foxgloves, and evening commences. a bus journeys west, the windshield flashing pink, pink glancing off of metal, brushing the dented flank of blue, beat-up enamel; down hollows, up rises. . . . Goodbye to the elms, to the farm, to the dog. waits, patient, while a lone traveler gives kisses and embraces to seven relatives and a collie supervises. hairy, scratchy, splintery; moonlight and mist caught in them like lamb’s wool on bushes in a pasture. The passengers lie back. Snores. Some long sighs. A dreamy divagation begins in the night, a gentle, auditory, slow hallucination. . . . an old conversation —not concerning us, but recognizable, somewhere, back in the bus: Grandparents’ voices Blar blar it goes on for a while Regards Andy Have a fab Christmas and new year P.S I'm not mad ;-)
