What a beautiful area! We've seen a little of the coast of *North* Carolina but not South. One day perhaps. I think the only lighthouses we've seen in the US have been on Lake Erie though. Our favourite was near Port Clinton, another beautiful area.<BR/><BR/>I'll see if I can find that poem on the net and will certainly investigate Eugenia Price's book. A new author to me and I don't mind romance in the slightest.Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-51320308625882481052007-08-08T17:17:00.000+01:002007-08-08T17:17:00.000+01:00Your quote reminds me of a Walt Whitman poem "In C...Your quote reminds me of a Walt Whitman poem "In Cabin'd Ships at Sea" from <I>Leaves of Grass</I> about sailors feeling the sea beneath their ship...<BR/><BR/>Lighthouses are fascinating, aren't they? There is a lovely one where we vacation off the coast of South Carolina near Charleston that is threatened by erosion. The state is trying to preserve it, as explained <A HREF="http://www.lighthousefriends.com/light.asp?ID=333" REL="nofollow">here</A>.<BR/><BR/>And if you're looking for historical fiction on lighthouses, you could try the Eugenia Price novels. The St. Simon's Trilogy, the first of which is <I>Lighthouse</I>, is about the keeper of the lighthouse on St. Simon's Island, off the coast of Georgia. I haven't read these, so can't comment on their quality, but know of many who love them. I believe that they veer a bit more towards the romance genre, though.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10135995044612920341noreply@blogger.com
