  5. A quotation from Thomas Carlyle

    In that strange island Iceland, — burst up, the geologists say, by fire from the bottom of the sea; a wild land of barrenness and lava; swallowed many months of every year in black tempests, yet with a wild gleaming beauty in summertime; towering up there, stern and grim, in the North Ocean with its snow jokuls, roaring geysers, sulphur-pools and horrid volcanic chasms, like the waste chaotic battle-field of Frost and Fire; — where of all places we least looked for Literature or written memorials, the record of these things was written down.

    Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) Scottish essayist and historian
    Lecture (1840-05-05), “The Hero as Divinity,” Home House, Portman Square, London

  15. North: DESOLATION

    harsh ice all around
    the winter's #desolation
    there's a strange beauty

    South: GREEN LEAVES

    and then the spring comes
    ice melts and #greenleaves soon sprout
    all teeming with life

  24. Yay! Funds released for my Kickstarter. I can get on with my fulfilment, and should have my book out to backers by #Xmas. I can't wait for them to read the new book.

    The rest of you will have to wait until the new year.
