A beautiful poetic essay that sums up, and revels in all that is stunning and overwhelming about a summers evening in the British countryside. Every detail is perfectly observed, almost to clearly defined, leading the author to question something so beautiful can really be seen or is just an illusion. We are republishing this work with a brand new short introductory biography of the author.
