The Lonely Land
A.J.M. Smith

Cedar and jagged fir

uplift sharp barbs

against the gray

and cloud-piled sky;

and in the bay

blown spume and windrift

and thin, bitter spray

snap

at the whirling sky;

and the pine trees

lean one way.



A wild duck calls

to her mate,

and ragged

and passionate tones

stagger and fall,

and recover,

and stagger and fall,

on these stones -

are lost

in the lapping of water

on smooth, flat stones.


This is a beauty

of dissonance,

this resonance

of stony strand,

this smoky cry

curled over a black pine

like a broken

and wind-battered branch

when the wind

bends the tops of the pine

like a broken

and wind-battered branch

when the wind

bends the tops of the pines

and curdles the sky

from the north.


This is the beauty

of strength

broken by strength

and still strong

After Port Royal - Champlain Continues



THE FOUNDING OF NEW FRANCE
(Adapted from Page 226-227 of your textbook)
Port Royal was not a great success and eventually de Monts lost his trading monopoly. However, Champlain was still convinced that Canada could be profitable for the French. The year is 1608, he went up the St. Lawrence river to what is now Quebec City. He established a post - a habitation - at Quebec and made friends with the Algonkians and Motagnais against the Iroquois. Quebec was chosen because it was almost an impregnable natural fort. In return, they agreed to not trade any furs with the English. Champlain helped the Algonkians win several battles againsy the Iroquois because the French owned firearms.
