Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Dogtown Common
The ghost Of Sabbath pilgrim there would fail His ancient trail. Yet Often a footloose pilgrim by that track Still climbs the cape through bog and tangled Vine Up granite boulders, where by some green pine He pauses and looks back Toward the blue summer sea where gull-white schooners tack, And snuffs keen smells of berry-bush and brine On the warm wind, and harkens the noon-weary Chime of the veery. From Pigeon Cove three miles back in the wood The boulders heap up in a wild moraine Gray ruined tabernacles of the rain And starry solitude A Stonehenge of the storms that Druid glaciers hewed In Supplication to the primal pain, While yet the world groaned in the mortal throes From which man rose.
