"Harvey's Hutch by Philip Dodd is a fabulous memoir, a book I enjoyed reading very much. He has set down his memories on the page in fine prose, so that his book reads like a first person novel, at times. His philosophical, poetic lines make his memoi"

“This is my song for Gabriel,
The Angel of the Word,
I've sung to you so many times,
This time I may be heard.
I sing to you from fellowship,
Past times I sang alone,
But now I can extend my love
To wood and air and stone.
Your golden wings have cradled me,
Your voice has made me kneel,
Your actions turn the universe,
Your wisdom spins the wheel.
This is my song for Abraham,
The shepherd of mankind,
You led your tribe out from Canaan,
And none were left behind.
O, come, fulfil your prophecies,
And say the war is won,
Must I wait in vales of visions,
And leave my song undone?”

What images return

“And chiefly thou, O spirit, that dost prefer
Before all temples the upright heart and pure,
Instruct me, for thou know'st. Thou from the first
Wast present, and, with mighty wings outspread,
Dove-like sattest brooding on the vast abyss,
And madst it pregnant.”

Of wet and of wildness? Let them be left,
O let them be left, wildness and wet;
Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet.”

Thank you for your praise, Anahit, and good luck with your new book, The Phantom's Dolphin.

Thank you so much for acepting my friendship request here on Goodreads. I am shortly to be starting an online Degree in English Literature! I really look forward to future book discussions with you, including Tolkien and writing (as i am also working on my first novel).
Kind Regards
