Quote by Freedom Matthews

“The creature which stood before me was no bigger than a child, yet I would have sworn she was wood nymph. With pointed ears, translucent skin and a halo of woodland flowers in her silvery hair, the small woman held a strange presence. Besides the creature's obvious beauty, I couldn't draw my gaze away from her magnificent opaque wings. They fluttered in the breeze like the leaves above us.”

“In Green Grandeur by Stewart Stafford Under towers of green pillars, Grow those leafed palaces, Stretching out their tall limbs, Up skyward in thanksgiving. Saplings with peacock foliage, A forest floor carpeted thickly, With dead leaves, kindling and, Subterranean roots peeking out. Storm-crooked trunks stooping, To the lightning-shattered bows, Fingers of dying sunlight reach, To caress the ivy-entwined bark. © Stewart Stafford, 2022. All rights reserved”

“The Pont map produced c.1590 shows woodland lining the entire course of the Edendon Water, the river artery running through the centre of the estate. It shows woodland cover starting at the southernmost boundary where the Edendon joins the River Garry and ascending the entire 14.3 km. of the Edendon Water, rounding Am Meadar and far up into the Cama' Choire. The entire catchment of the Edendon is 42 square km., set entirely within Dalnacardoch. An archaeological survey undertaken in 2004 recorded 232 individual structures, associated with industry, military and transhumance activities.”

“You know,” I start, swallowing down my building panic, the tightening feeling in my chest gripping my fucking heart like a vice, “you need to be my girlfriend now. You’re all I can think about.” Relief fills me as she blushes and giggles. “And that means I need to be your girlfriend?” “Yep.” I take her face and kiss her, stroking my thumbs on her freckled cheeks. “Seems boyfriend-ish to think of someone as much as I think of you.”
