And the whole pier rose and fell in stiff and creaking mimicry, dancing its long slow dance of dissolution.

The nearest land ahead of me was Hawaii.

Richelle MeadTo-day I think Only with scents, - scents dead leaves yield, And bracken, and wild carrot's seed, And the square mustard field; Odours that rise When the spade wounds the root of tree, Rose, currant, raspberry, or goutweed, Rhubarb or celery; The smoke's smell, too, Flowing from where a bonfire burns The dead, the waste, the dangerous, And all to sweetness turns.
