… a vacant lot …
… looking towards the setting sun …
… a land beyond the world
snow-covered and blue-shaded in winter
with wastes wilds and a long low ravine …
… grasslands and moorlands and downs …
… thickets and groves jungles and forests,
swamps and canebrakes …
… and meadows and greenswards
assuming the shapes of streams and seas …
… nothing more suitable for children’s games …
pretending to be adventurers in search
of a lost treasure in a strange land …
… a joint adventure of dream and wake …
… the wider and deeper
the ranges were explored
the more plentiful and replete
they were to be found …
… something happened anyhow …
… and discoveries were never wanting,
though often no risk was run …
