The Horn Again As It Once Was

Pinkerton Horn as it was before CSX excavation.


Whatever was left was ours for a while,

But sooner or later the hills will take it back,

And maybe the moon will send the seas there

And where we once lived will be a river coiling around

Honoring the sky through its reflection––

Blue in the summer. White when the snow falls.


–Lines from Louise Glück's "Sunrise."

The Horn as it looks today.
