I Done Clicked My Heels Three Times, Taylor Byas

"The Brothers Karamazov", Fyodor Dostoevsky (translated by Constance Garnett)

William Fargason, “I Have Lost Faith”

It’s an animal farm now and I’m glad it isn’t houses instead but a few years ago before its sale this pond and the land around it were only mowed once or twice a year and it was full of native wetland plants. It looked like this in late August. I would see wood ducks, herons and egrets there in different seasons and lots of species in migration. I’m grateful that I knew it then.
