"It was a clear but moonless night; the dark blue canopy spangled with myriad stars—grandeur, peace, and purity above; squalor, worry, and profanity below. Fit basis for many an ancient system of Theology— unscientific, if you will, but by no means contemptible." --Joseph Furphy, Such is Life (1903)
"the sound of water
through a curtain of willow –
isn’t this how love begins
first an opening and then
the spilling over"
--Lynne Rees in Tanka Splendor 2006
