There seemed to be nothing to see; no fences, no creeks or trees, no hills or fields. If there was a road, I could not make it out in the faint starlight. There was nothing but land: not a country at all, but the material out of which countries are made.

As time has gone on and we're at the end of the 20th century and major publishing is a big business, yes, of course we're going to get a lot of plain, mediocre trash.

Yet look again - His horn is free,Rising above chain, fence, and tree,Free hymn of love; His hornBursts from his tranquil browLike a comet born;Cleaves like a galley's prowInto seas untorn;Springs like a lily, whiteFrom the Earth below;Spirals, a bird in flightTo a longed-for height;Or a fountain bright,Spurting to lightOf early morn - O luminous horn!
