Oasis..... providing refuge,
relief, or a pleasant contrast
---Webster's Dictionary |
|
Down Westgate, in the Fall, the
housewives set
Chrysanthemums in bronze or marble bowls
Forth on the stoops, defying ice and snow
With their lion’s mane, sun’s face ruddy glow of gold.
Things like that marry weather with the soul,
Which would have its seasons if it did exist,
And sing its songs among the falling leaves
Under the autumn rain, and celebrate
Its mass with hymns and litanies of change...
from "Walking Down Westgate in the
Fall"
----

Parkview: tall trees tying the sky together overhead and unifying the
community as successfully as its common ground, as well as creating an oasis
of quiet in the midst of urban din.
---- William Gass
in The Sophisticated Traveler
(New York Times, 1993)

I'm sitting on the top stair, next to the railing, at
the foot of our walk. Across the street is a triangular park with
its honey locusts and tall old pines and oaks. I look toward Pershing at
the beautiful homes, seventy-five years old some of them, good as new,
better. How lovely, I think.
---- Stanley Eklin
in Esquire Magazine (1980)
