Escaping from too literal company desirous of achieving weightlessness I feld the kerb-and-gutter citizens to wander through emerald valleys and the jade shadow of a rain forest six days long. Finding amid fern and vine austerities which made literature, at, musick, seem inexpressibly strange. I followed native walkabouts: choosing to live their lives, tast the same diamond-bleak waters, study an elegance of stars mantling the hills. Sandstone weeks' unknowable visions, a calendar glittering with seasons of discovery. Came out the other side to sing whole lusiads of travel, to perfect the rough shapes, using a tribesman's adze simple to compile from these voyages in nature a manual of navigation.
