With shaggy hide and sharp nose scrowed with black
Roots in the bushes and the woods, and makes
A great high burrow in the ferns and brakes.’ ~ John Clare

Reading Alice Toklas' description of the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake. She writes that the heat from the fire caused carnations to bloom early. That's intense. But also beautiful.
