outofthedark said:I wrote a poem for my english class about how much Lyle took with him, what probably happened with him emotionally and what we probably thought in connection with the story character, where I described Lyle [Stevick] as someone who's "stuck with what he's got and mute to who he is around"
Are you going to post it? I would love to read it Outofthedark!~

He came from a lonely spot, on top of a high hill,
Looked around for the spirits, trying to break his will,
He left without them, knowing what he had to do,
And was like a staight line, firm, steadfast and true.
Up around Gray's Harbor he tethered himself,
Sat in the darkness, no longer concerned about his health,
It took a few days and pacing up and down the street,
He maybe stopped to wonder if his maker he would meet.
Nothing could lift him up to weather the storm
He was helpless and lost and wanted to be where it is warm,
So he took care of business and cloaked himself in gloom,
And the maid found him praying, kneeling on the far side of the room.
To those who loved him we wish them God speed,
For they had to know he was thinking of this perilous deed,
In their hearts they still love him and carry him along,
Knowing there will not be a day that his song is unsung.
