Blue*Eyed Grasses

Topics: classic

Rocky shale, pale voile,     sun lighting the     clearness of the bay;     come Moccasin Flower or Grass Pink     unto Painted Cup    -     big with primula eye, these septs off wild     and inland seas.     The delights of success and heartbreaks     of failure among the people     in the land below Tobermory;     the rocks on the cold hill,     the lilacs by the doors...     And it was at their expense that this land     came to be supplied     with vitriol, camomile and liquorice,     yea some camphor and jallop,     oft'times basil, lemon or rhubarb      - - all sent from Glasgow     in wooden boxes     stout as pioneer hearts.
