MYSTERY: Another view of a St. Helens — on the Isle of Wight

“You may not know who I am or what I mean
But I will be good faith to you nevertheless.
And filter and fiber your soul.

“Failing to fetch me at first, keep encouraged.
Missing me one place, search another.
I stop, somewhere, waiting for you.”

– Walt Whitman
