“But not luck
brought us here. By design
clear air and cold wind polish
the river lights, by design
we are to live now in a new place.”

Valley so low,
Hang your head over,
Hear the train blow.”

“Patience is a most necessary qualification for business; many a man would rather you heard his story than granted his request. One must seem to hear the unreasonable demands of the petulant, unmoved, and the tedious details of the dull, untired. That is the least price that a man must pay for a high station.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
