Richard Jefferies has a very fine chapter in Bevis entitled "Bevis' Zodiac"
"When the few leaves left on this young oak were brown,and rustled in the frosty night, the massive shoulder of Orion came heaving up through it-- first one bright star and then another; then the gleaming girdle, and the less definite scabbard; then the great constellation stretched across the eastt. At the first sight of Orion's shoulder Bevis always felt suddenly stronger, as if a breath of the mighty hunter had come down and entered into him"
The last sentence of Bevis is pretty good too:
"The wind went seawards and the stars are always over the ocean."
As far as AR this week I am mostly going with "softly.."
