Sink, and Let the Ground Sink into You

York County woods, Maine

"The primitive destiny of the land is obscure...

"Through that stratum of obscurity the frail genius of the place must penetrate.

"I speak of aesthetic satisfaction. This want, in America, can only be filled by knowledge, a poetic knowledge of that ground."





– William Carlos Williams, condensed by John Haines.
