This Morning, With Her, Having Coffee.

I am a world that cannot be explored in one day. I am not a place for cowards.

Royalty

A stag stands alone in the autumn mist.

Heaven-invading hills are drowned

In wide moving waves of mist,

Phlox before my door are wound

In dripping wreaths of amethyst.
