Wherever their triumphs be,
Their glory goes home to the ocean-girt Isle
Where the heather blooms and the roses smile

Under the sun and the moon, under the dusk and the day;
Under the glimmer of stars and the purple of sunsets dying,
Wan and waste and white, stretch the great lakes away...."

BryonySeries: Moons that glimmer above, waters that lie white under,
Miles and miles of lake far out under the night;
Foaming crests of waves, surfs that shoreward thunder,
Shadowy shapes that flee, haunting the spaces white.
The Winter Lakes by William Wilfred Campbell

The crimson forest stands,
And all the day the blue-jay calls
Throughout the autumn lands."

hamlet2hamilton: We don't usually love plays where the woman swoons in EVERY SINGLE SCENE.
BUT this week's King Arthur play, "Mordred: A Tragedy in Five Acts" by William Wilfred Campbell (our first Canadian playwright!) is so so SO much melodramatic fun.

This limpid, sweet, spring morning, all the air

The very city, like a dream, is fair,

MelanieJaxn: They hasten, still they hasten,
From the even to the dawn;
And their tired eyes gleam and glisten
Under north skies white and wan.
Each panter in the darkness
Is a demon-haunted soul,
The shadowy, phantom werewolves,
Who circle round the Pole.

But over ill and dread and doubt's fell dart,
Sweet hope, eternal, holds the human heart,
And love laughs down the desolate dusks of death.”
