Lake Waramaug, in Litchfield, Conn., with Mt. Bushnell across the water.Z
“This was a little valley all to myself
In Connecticut’s northern hills: Cornwall was there;
Warren to westward: Waramaug Lake to the south;
And the great Gehenna {hell} sufficient six-score leagues—’’
“From “Death at The Purple Rim,’’ by Hyam Plutzik (1911-1962), a poet who grew up in Connecticut.
