I pass, a willful stranger;
My mistress still the open road
And the bright eyes of danger.

On the old highway maps of America, the main routes were red and the back roads blue. Now even the colors are changing. But in those brevities just before dawn and a little after dark-times neither day nor night-the old roads return to the sky some of its color. Then, in truth, they cast a mysterious shadow of blue, and it's that time when the pull of the blue highway is strongest, when the open road is a beckoning, a strangeness, a place where a man can lose himself.

Faeries, come take me out of this dull world,
For I would ride with you upon the wind,
Run on the top of the dishevelled tide,
And dance upon the mountains like a flame.

Merrily did we drop

Below the lighthouse top.

Sailed off in a wooden shoe-
Sailed on a river of crystal light,
Into a sea of dew.
