“It was early evening twilight when we came around a corner…
and there in the road was a red deer stag.
He leapt up the bank beside the road and then paused,
looking back over his shoulder as we passed.
Like a scene in a dream I watched him as he watched me.
He was so close… so still and so beautiful.
There was an instant of knowing that my heart
was as trapped in this beautiful wildness
as my eyes were caught in his calm curious gaze.
It was a slowly growing realization
that I had fallen in love a third time…
with this lovely, cold strange world of water and stone,
sharp light and deep shadows.
And I would never be the same again.”
