Found this typewriter by a wee stream that flows directly into the ocean. Too small a stream for the machine to have come down it, I think, so it must have washed in from the sea.
A frustrated mariner writing his autobiography threw it over board. or Sitting by the ocean side a morose poet composing dire dirges cast his eyes out to sea and over come by the terrific beauty, by the immenseness of the sky, the awesome power of the waves decided it was all to wonderful and tossed the evil machine aside and took to writing glorifications of nature with a quill on parchment. or It is an artistic representation of the essence of writers block. Judi.
Susan now how cool is that! Does it work at all? Are you keeping it or just letting it be. Maybe you could incorporate it into a secret garden space. It could be where the spirits of writers gather...I am rambling...just thinking out loud so to speak... Karen
