The White Hart, page 111
part #1 of of Isle Series
And all the birds of nesting earth
Beneath his gold wings lie
Comfort, comfort, spread thy pinions,
Sunswan soaring zenith high,
Comfort.… Down to night’s dominion
Gliding through the cyan sky.
Westward at the deeps of evening
Sunswan dips his wings of fire
Fills the white embrace of twilight
Comfort comfort wings of fire
Quenching long desire of ages
Quenching long desire.
About the Author
Nancy Springer has passed the fifty-book milestone with novels for adults, young adults, and children, in genres including mythic fantasy, contemporary fiction, magic realism, horror, and mystery—although she did not realize she wrote mystery until she won the Edgar Award from the Mystery Writers of America two years in succession. Born in Montclair, New Jersey, Springer moved with her family to Gettysburg, of Civil War fame, when she was thirteen. She spent the next forty-six years in Pennsylvania, raising two children (Jonathan and Nora), writing, horseback riding, fishing, and bird-watching. In 2007 she surprised her friends and herself by moving with her second husband to an isolated area of the Florida Panhandle where the bird-watching is spectacular, and where, when fishing, she occasionally catches an alligator.
