... it brought back some wonderful memories, the best of which was that dear man, Professor Satterthwaite, (who left all his land to become a wildlife reserve here on the coast of Maine). If I could have only told him what that meant to me all those years ago, and shared some of my work with him. I was a foolish teenager, and took my prep school experience completely for granted - oh to have those years again in my hand! I'm trying to locate his daughter, but not having luck. Thanks again for this - I wish to keep his spirit alive, and this was a favorite poem of his. Blessings, Brian.

Oh, what a wonderful remembrance! My prep school freshman English teacher, (who was a Cambridge Fellow and taught at Oxford), made this an assignment, and I had totally forgotten it and not read it in (46) years! this is a gem in so many ways! That prof saw something special in my writing and awarded me the Payson-Bird Prize, (the first freshman to ever receive it). The sad thing is I never continued writing and didn't take his encouragement seriously, (a youthful fool, I was - what a mentor I could have had!!). I never wrote again until a couple of years ago when I joined The Soup. I looked him up last year to thank him, but he had passed, (as had his wife). Thank you for posting this ...
