Wind in the Willows • Via #7 • 20241102

Poetry of motion…

‘Glorious, stirring sight!’ murmured Toad, never offering to move. ‘The poetry of motion! The real way to travel! The
only way to travel! Here to-day—in next week to-morrow!
Villages skipped, towns and cities jumped—always
somebody else’s horizon! O bliss! O poop-poop! O my! O
my!’*

Singing in the wind cycling on the willow lane in the Green Heart of Holland around noon, November 16, 2016.
