an inland soul to sea

Been down in Hull this weekend - here's a quick snap taken as we passed through Berwick-upon-Tweed, on our way South, on Friday evening ...

... and here's a bit of Emily Dickinson to, as always, lift your soul:


Time and Eternity

EXULTATION is the going
Of an inland soul to sea,—
Past the houses, past the headlands,
Into deep eternity!

Bred as we, among the mountains,
Can the sailor understand
The divine intoxication
Of the first league out from land?

Emily Dickinson (1830 - 1886)
