Only just got around to looking at the pictures. They are lovely.

I have been considering a 3 hour night flight from Gatwick in November going northwards to see the Northern Lights. Not a guaranteed sighting of course, but an 80% chance. Apparently passengers have to change seats to give everyone a chance to look through the windows. I don't know which aircraft is used, some seating configurations would be better than others.

Ah yes.........Pushkin ! I also write poetry but not like him.

This one describes Clouds for me:

CLOUDS

Down the blue night the unending columns press

In noiseless tumult, break and wave and flow,

Now tread the far South, or lift rounds of snow

Up to the white moon's hidden loveliness.

Some pause in their grave wandering comradless,

And turn with profound gesture vague and slow,

As who would pray good for the world, but know

Their benediction empty as they bless.

They say that the Dead die not, but remain

Near to the rich heirs of their grief and mirth.

I think they ride the calm mid-heaven, as these,

In wise majestic melancholy train,

And watch the moon, and the still-raging seas,

And men, coming and going on the earth.

Rupert Brooke
