“Newrose, Oldrose, Quean Anne's lace.Water, river, stone and sunWind over hill, under tree.Past the border none can see.Climbing into dark for you,Will you climb in stars for me?P.124”

“Newrose, oldrose, Queen Anne’s lace.Water, river, stone, and sun.  Wind over hill, under tree.Past the border none can see.  Climbing into dark for youWill you wait in stars for me?”

“Climbing into dark for youWill you wait in stars for me?”

“I climb into the dark for youAre you waiting in the stars for me?”

“The stars have come to the earth, and the ocean has turned over the ground; dark waves meet the sky.”

“Things here are so different. Poisoned rivers, softened stone. You never know exactly what you're getting into. What will hold and what will give way”

“Neither of us moves for a moment, locked instead in each other's eyes and in the branches of this Hill we might never finish climbing.”
