After the death of his former lover Robert (Clint Eastwood), Francesca (Meryl Streep) receives a box wih his personal items. This does not appear to be the signature of the writer, as the handwriting is consistent with numerous other passages throughout the autograph book and unless we are to assume that Bayfield (if that is indeed their name) wrote all of the passages we had previously attributed to Isabella, it doesn’t seem reasonable to posit this is our scribe here. There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shore, There is society, where none intrudes, By the deep sea, and music in its roar: I love not man the less, but Nature more, From these our interviews, in which I steal From all I may be, or have been before, To mingle with the Universe, and feel What I can ne’er. It is unclear as to its purpose, as it seems somewhat detached from the stanza itself but is written just slightly under it. Pathless woods, steeped in peace and towering between heaven and earth would, I think, have that answer waiting for us if we were receptive enough to hear it.Here in the woods, perhaps we can listen with the heart and with the spirit, and hear the trees speak of growth, and the earth of seeds and silence, and looking up to the sky, hear.
