Grindel Point Lighthouse, in Islesboro, in Waldo County, Maine.
“Mrs. O’Finnicky flounces her dust
ruffles, her mind bent on spring. All winter
she has endured the turgid company
of tchotchkes and assorted bric-a-brac.’’
From “Spring Cleaning,’’ by John Canaday, American poet, teacher and science-history expert. He now lives in Brooks, Maine, a tiny town in Waldo, Maine.
