Copied from notes made on the spot in Shenandoah National Park - 10-22-55
the day was so rich, golden & shiny - more than the human soul can bear - must peel off & absorb only a small nugget at a time - it was the good music we got on the radio that triggered off this flood of inspiration - was food & drink to me - from which I could subsist for weeks -
(on our hike) the grey rocks were splotched with dark green & turquoise lichen giving the whole jumble the effect of mottled jade.
