Gleaned from an awe-inspiring landscape along the Blue Ridge Parkway in the mountains of North Carolina. A catastrophic, ancient, wind storm levelled all vegetation in the area. After a subsequent devastating fire the landscape was left to look like an ancient natural graveyard. |

Subject matter is the sinking of the Titanic. The title is taken from the poem by Thomas Hardy.
--And as the smart ship grew/
In stature, grace and hue,/
In shadowy silent distance grew the Iceberg too./
Alien they seemed to be:/
No mortal eye could see/
The intimate welding of their later history,/
Or sign that they were bent/
By paths coincident/
On being anon twin halves of one august event,/
Till the Spinner of the Years/
Said 'Now!' And each one hears,/
And consummation comes, and jars two hemispheres.
---Thomas Hardy |
