Summer lies on the land like chains of gold and lapis,
heavy and bright.
These days seem so long.

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it.

No, I don't recognize the name. A poet, I assume?

A novelist. (Apparently a poet also IIRC but I didn't know that until I looked it up just now.) Does atmosphere ~ although yours is less oppressive than his by several measures. If you ever get a chance to read The Twyborn Affair ... well, do give it a go^^.

Oh, that sounds really lovely. I'll have to look up a copy.
