[Fragments from Floyd] "This is the place in the picture. This is the forest and creek I have dreamed of since I was a small boy. This is the country place I longed for all these years while the picture hung on my office wall, both taunting me and giving me hope that there was indeed just such a place." They moved to the place and they live there to this day. The picture is there, too, across from the hearth, above the old piano where its travels have come to a pleasant ending.

It took no imagination to see that Old Man when viewed from the north; he was real."


[Feathers of Hope (Pica)] Imagining a place with specific topography and characteristics allows writers to tell stories that couldn't be told if they were set, say, in Watford.


[Feathers of Hope (Numenius)] The fauna of an imaginary place.


[alembic] "I drive on Sir Francis Drake Boulevard in Marin every day, sometimes five or six times a day. My car is one of the many that hurl relentlessly through the blocks ¨C traffic permitting ¨C at high noon or past the full moon, in wind or rain, and through the seasons. The stretch of the road that I travel on daily has sidewalks, but not on both sides."
