Freeze - Frame of Quebec City

FREEZE - FRAME OF QUEBEC CITY Time-capsule towers over St. Lawrence: Heights of Abraham look imperiously down On the Ile d’Orleans spread over the river, Chateau Frontenac’s fairytale frivolous turrets, Le Parlement’s serious severity, Antique town with narrow cobbled streets, Overhanging shoulders of timbered gables. Clipclop of caleche leaps back centuries, Cobblestones echo concertina and fiddle music About log-driving men with peavey poles. L’ete indien - a world of rust and copper leaf, Montmorency Falls and the legend, All frozen in time and in winter’s snowy grip.
