Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Oregon Almanac: For 1940 Oregon Crossing By Verne Bright By steep American trails from a country of strong winds We have come into a valley of cool meadows Between dark hills; we traveled a secret journey Under the trees´ shadows. Wearied of ancient ways, of all old things, Of men who walk with slow feet gritting the sand, We set our seeking hearts toward the endless mountains - New life in a new land. We heard faint voices calling us in our dreaming: Ox-bells westward, the small cries of birds, And rivers of alluring name, Umpqua, Wallamet, Tualatin, bright with words. We will go, we said, from these high stony pastures, These dusty acres of denuded earth: Pale in the mist we left the burdened waters, The fields of dearth. We traced strange stars beyond the bitter deserts; We climbed by thorny ridges and sky-peaks thinned Of trees, to the channeled gorges and the cragged passes In the harsh wind. And we came down by slow slopes through the fir forests To a land of fierce-eyed men: We took the land: Though we died they died and the land is ours: Forted, we stand. Full-uddered, our cattle graze in the deep grass pastures; We have planted our corn by the groves where the seawind sings; By the plangent rivers, white in the moonlight, our cities; Our homes by the watersprings. No memory is here of death and the old sorrow, Of flesh and heart gone warped as storm-struck trees: Sleep is on our eyes and the still night falling We have found peace.
