The floating notes blended with the faint blue woodsmoke haze of twilight drifting through the trees. A filament of spider silk touched my cheek. As I put up my hand, I sensed its physical warmth.

At the age of eight, Ronald Scriven contracted an ear infection that left him almost stone deaf, and - later - was also to make him blind. Yet so intensely were his years of hearing and his years of seeing experienced, so vividly remembered, that they became the wellspring of an entire working life as a poet and radio dramatist. .
