plum orchard is probably the most amazing thing on the island---built in 1898, 20,000 sq. ft., wonderfully intact, with things like original tiffany lighting in the music room, stenciled burlap and painted paper covering walls, some reproduced but a lot of it original---and some of the best bathrooms that i've seen----

Each of us is all the sums he has not counted: subtract us into nakedness and night again, and you shall see begin in Crete four thousand years ago the love that ended yesterday in Texas.
The seed of our destruction will blossom in the desert, the alexin of our cure grows by a mountain rock, and our lives are haunted by a Georgia slattern, because a London cutpurse went unhung. Each moment is the fruit of forty thousand years. The minute-winning days, like flies, buzz home to death, and every moment is a window on all time.
john northbrooke, c. 1570
