Awe Continued:
In response to 70-plus years of inquiries, pleading and collector interest, Eyvind Earle -- artist, illustrator, author, poet -- consented to write a definitive autobiography in 1990. It included the complete journal of his monumental cross-country bicycle trip across America in 1937; hence the title, "Horizon Bound on a Bicycle" illustrated with his black and white reverse etchings... waiting, anxiously, for my "vintage" copy to arrive!

Here's one of his beautiful poems to share with you:

There are certain words I love to sound

Moon wind rain stars round

Grass trees rocks wood stones

Dash breeze locks good tones

Certain words are healthy wholesome whole

Girls youth beauty life soul

Certain words sing and laugh and cry

Smiles tears wonder wander why

-Eyvind Earle
