SKERRYVORE: THE PARALLEL
Hero all is sunny, and when the truant gull Skims the green level of the lawn, her wing Dispetals roses; here the house is framed Of kneaded brick and the plumed mountain pine, Such clay as artists fashion and such wood As the tree-climbing urchin breaks. But there Eternal granite hewn from the living islo And dowelled with brute iron, rears a tower That from its wet foundation to its crown Of glittering glass, stands, in the sweep of winds. Immovable, immortal, eminent. —From “The Poems and Ballads of Robert Louis Stevenson.”
