If you travel east from
Ogdensburg to the Atlantic Ocean and follow the coast to the small fishing
village of Port Clyde, Maine. There you can take a passenger ferry eleven
miles to Monhegan Island, a small island community where about 10 lobstermen
and hundreds of summer residents, many of them artists, reside. When
you leave the village dock follow the road to the right, walking (there are
no cars on the Island) up to the top of Horn Hill. There growing beside an
artist's and his wife's summer home is this flower. A flower nurtured
by her and the misty Atlantic air under the crystal blue Monhegan sky.
A flower that is descended from royalty, with a white that is beyond lily
white. It is Sara white.
Reproduced from an oil painting
on canvas.
