With so many crushed megaliths of grandeur of yesteryear, only now, for "others" to find them out of layers of elusive sand sunk forever in the bed of history. By writing this, you stretch us back in imagination from your typewriting fingertips all the way back to a desolate place that once "WAS" Grand in Earthly Measure of Glory, but now pulverized into its true essence of dust. The first poem by Shelley, engages the peripatetic "the traveler from an antique land", then. And now, you seem to have done something similar; you have locked in the wisdom of John and Peter, and all of your contemporary wayfaring readers who are urged to see through the sand fog of time. I like what you've done here.

Shelley uses language that makes me shiver. The other guy is more like a Facebook post. But it may be that the Shelley resonates more because I have heard it before, too.sarahsalterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08676973808870235248noreply@blogger.com
