Hope is on the way...
Sparks of Hope...
The view west from atop House Mountain
from Ode to the West Wind
Drive my dead thoughts over the universe
Like withered leaves to a new birth!
And, by the incantation of this verse,
Scatter, as from an unextinguished hearth
Ashes and sparks, my words among mankind!
Be through my lips to unawakened earth
The trumpet of a prophecy! O Wind,
If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?
--Percy Bysshe Shelley
More photos from a hike up House Mountain, Tennessee (click to enlarge).
On the trail we met a cute little yellow dog pup named "Honey Bunch," pictured at the right.
