Now you tell me! It's inspired by the great Finish master himself. Yes. It doesn't surprise.

A fascinating picture which has left me wondering... Could it be Mr. Wagner that inspired your words, or perhaps something more British, like Vaughan Williams, or maybe something American - Aaron Copeland? I'm still wondering, but my ignorance in no way spoils my enjoyment of the immaculate images that flow so effortlessly from your pen. Beautiful poem. love, Allie xxxx

Margery, this blending of landscape, music and myth is very powerful. I can see the scene before my mind's eye and feel the presence of the ancient gods. Warm regards, Magda
