The major thrust of this book is an attempt to elucidate, and to linger on and prolong the reverie of those precious enchanted moments when the place, the time and I had merged into one luminous reality. As an example, one summer night, turning the corner, I was enchanted by this bright silvery light, which filled my eyes, face, and the forest around me. Soon I figured out that this was not an apparition, just the streak of moonlight reflecting off the lake! Still, through words I wanted to re-live the above enchanting time; so I wrote a poem.
