LA SOLEDAD In Camaguey I found a Church to La Soledad, Our Lady of Solitude, a little dressed-up image up in a shadowy niche, you could hardly see her. La Soledad! One of my big devotions, and you never find her, never hear anything about her in this country, except that one of the old California missions was dedicated to her. Thomas Merton , , .

In May the red flowers press against the window glass, at night sandelwood touches you quietly. A candle turns a fire in you that no star would even dare, nor any Autumn reach to bare the branches of your loneliness. I shall address you as sweet sister of full and yellow fields, there being something about you close to swaying wheat in the bright sun. And though you are a true daughter of desolation, you are deep, and lovely as bluegrass, leaning towards the flowers. There was a November when the rebellious, wordless quivers in the throat of the winter wind, sharp, starled the flight ofa glance which had, inevitably to rest upon your soft, grey eyes, glazed by a vapor of cold, woven air, eyes, rendering indellible the days that sang in the dust of birds, or seemed at times like heaved snow on the river's flow. You took an instant in a warmth of hand, and clasped the pulse of timelessness with a delicacy, deliberate, still unsure. And I think of the cold discs over the white eyes of the dead, lidding the deep-faced estuaries, leading down to the cobwebs which hang like blue smoke in the most secret places.
