PROVENANCE
Private collection, Sydney

The frontispiece reads:

'Summer at 'Owls Wood'

That fire yesterday,
slow steps through the brittle grass,
Small things not visible
for the broad eye,
Grasshoppers, cicadas, dragonflys,
natures intriguing structures
made it difficult to pass.

John Olsen, April 03
