Document Summary
Elvezir mcclure and dungannon green lands of weslemkoon lake where a man might have some opinion of what beauty is and none deny him for miles . A country of quiescence and still distance a lean land not fat with inches of black soil on earth"s round belly . And where the farms have gone back to forest are only soft outlines and shadowy differences . Old fences drift vaguely among the trees a pile of moss-covered stones gathered for some ghost purpose has lost meaning under the meaningless sky. They are like cities under water and the undulating green waves of time are laid on them . And this is a country where the young leave quickly unwilling to know what their fathers know or think the words their mothers do not say.
