Madam, I am not an especially poetic man - neither my upbringing, nor my life experience has encouraged such tendencies. Or am I deluding myself? At just past dawn on a winter morning, each blade of grass spun from sugary frost, swathed in the silken haze of low-angled rays lancing into ground mist - then, between the pools and the plantations, where the stag stands petrified - his very stasis a fierce compression of all the fleet movements he's ever made and ever will - then... well, despite all the routine tasks, the paperwork, the management of the ground contractors, the liaison with the community groups, yes, I concede, I do open myself to the inspiration of this place...
