Detail from Pap's "Summer Afternoon on the Lake" mural / Lake Chrisann, PA / August 2007

  When Life's pulse beat strong and high
  Shone the world in gold and blue!
Canopied with turquoise sky
Summer passed superbly by,
  Bluest midnight cupped the dew
  Golden morn might sparkle through!

— from "Gold" by Isabel Ecclestone Mackay (1875-1928)
