My whole life is out here-the whole of my life.. I'd come here naked, as a boy-straight from that river out there-throw my clothes on the floor and climb into that loft and lie there dreaming in the hay.. All those summer days-scouring the banks of the Avon for smooth, round stones-scaring up ducks and foxes-kingfishers-swallows..somebody's dog.. Oh, God-I want it back. Throwing stones that never reached the other shore. And the games-the games-the games, and all my friends.. Timothy Findley
