"You remember that large painting, the one they used to patch the damaged house next door to his, after the gales and floods? I found a corner of it torn off, lying in a field. It was damaged, but legible: a mountain-peak and a spray of leaves. I can't get it out of my mind."--From "Leaf By Niggle" by J.R.R. Tolkein

Eager leaver The shifting eyes, they danced left-right-left The finality of last touch. Fare well.
