Catalogue Essay
"Child on Forest Road" by Wynn Bullock
Where’s the little one going
Alone on the oak-forest road?
What does the child here?
Maybe she’s going to meet
The woman coming from there
She’s old, she’s old
Her feet are bare
Her hair uncombed,
Far in the forest
And sweet she whistles,
“I’m coming, little one, little one,
Coming on home”
Her feet are bare
Her hair uncombed,
the child who stops and listens, listens
All by herself on the oak-forest road
Ursula K. LeGuin
