There are still a few available spaces, but time is running out!
“And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow, Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings; There midnight’s all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow, And evening full of the linnet’s wings.” —W.B. Yeats, “The Lake Isle of Innisfree”
