THE MIST

I AM the mist, the impalpable mist
Back of the thing you seek.

My arms are long,

Long as the reach of time and space.

Some toil and toil, believing,

Looking now and again on my face,

Catching a vital, olden glory.

But no one passes me,

I tangle and snare them all.

I am the cause of the Sphinx,

The voiceless, baffled, patient Sphinx.

I was at the first of things,

I will be at the last.

I am the primal mist

And no man passes me;

My long impalpable arms

Bar them all.

Montford Historic District Encore

As mentioned in an earlier post, the Montford Historic District in Asheville is a beautiful neighborhood that is filled with well preserved houses like this example. Residences vary in size from small victorian cottages to large Romanesque castles.

The garage cum studio relates well to its parent residence in materials, colors and details.
