| Harbor at the Siuslaw River |
|  | This spot is a true treasure of Oregon! And the place where after days of permanent rain fantastic sunshine made ppl finally smile, kind, gentle, and less reserved but welcoming like southerners. There I experienced the most beautiful day while been in the pacific north west. Nice locals, very charming landscape, a very romantic, flowery village at the Siuslaw River. If it's for a day trip it's diffcult to leave this fairy tale like town again. |
|  | A house that lacks, seemingly, landlord and lady, with doors that none but the wind ever closes..it stands in a garden of old-fashioned roses.
I pass by that way in the gloaming with Mary: "I wonder", I say, "who the the owner of those is." "Oh, no one you know", she answers me airy, But one we must ask if we want any roses."
..And turn and go up to the open door boldly, And knock to the echos as beggars for roses.
"Pray, are you within there, landlady who were you?" 'Tis Mary that speaks and our errand discloses. "Pray, are you within there? Bestir you, bestir you! 'Tis summer again; there's two come for roses.
"A word with you, that of the singer recalling - Old Herrick: a saying that every maid knows is A flower unplucked is but left to the falling, And nothing is gained by not gathering roses.." -Robert Frost |
