I can respect that.  To each his (or her) own.  Another much
longer piece contains, "Mountains, supporting the unmeasured
dome of the temple of the sky", and "trees, their branches
upraised in prayer".  (Which I won't share because it's
pretty long, and I'd get flame mail.)  I can easily create
the image of a 'chapel of hemlocks'.
