Marina in Stamford, Conn.
Buds on an oak tree. The species is one of the most common in southern New England
“Connecticut lays itself at the feet of my hatred.
The accent the Ischians use when not among themselves
does not point to but is Connecticut.
Red by oak. Blue by May.
White by sailcloth
jacketed on the booms in the marinas.
— From “One Connecticut,’’ by D.H. Tracy
