“As the Spirits of Darkness be stronger in the dark, so Good Spirits, which be Angels of Light, are augmented not only by the Divine light of the Sun, but also by our common Wood Fire: and as the Celestial Fire drives away dark spirits, so also this our Fire of Wood doth the same.” —Cor.

Of Ocean on his wintry shore,
And felt the strong pulse throbbing there
Beat with low rhythm our inland air.

Meanwhile we did our nightly chores,—
Brought in the wood from out of

The Life Of A Grandfather

minutes early being the sneaky man he is. One Friday my grandpa decided to get us out of the house and do something active for the day. On a hot sticky day in the middle of August he decided to bring us down to this creek right beside the Westover Air Base.
