--I use this edge too in my paintings. I like the feeling that we are peering out from behind some brush and trees, hiding sort of, and quiet enough that the edge animals and birds don't notice us, watching people going about some business or other in the clearing beyond.
-- Robert Frost uses a similar strategy in his poems. Many of them involve an observation of nature that is so close that it seems we are holding very still, listening to wind, bird song... And behind these observations is always the world of human issues and concerns.
