Monhegan

July 6 '62

All last night the north wind blew. It was a cold night - it must have been 40°. The North Wind! A skyful of it. And the pale glow of the Northern Lights. 

Today - a walk to the woods toward Black Head. No chanterelles yet. Lichen - very dry - over the masses of green grey rocks. 

I saw Kapoa: the bay view, the long golden arc of sand and the ironwood + the Norfolk pines. There is always a persistent wind there - the ocean in motion, unlike this tonight, when the dark still hulk of [Manana?] diminishes the silence + the unmoving channel. 

My moonlight pictures: There is a world somewhere there in the remembered moonlight on full seas.
