[inscription reads] " One is a huge hollow one and creates a draft in its heart, which finds an outlet in a hole where was a limb, and the flames shoot forth, bringing a mass of sparks from the fluffy lignin. / What a cheerful thing is a fire in the woods: Even on a warm night its heat is a pleasure; the flames take on all shapes. The weeds around camp are no longer weeds but some beings advancing on us. Away from camp we still look back at fire & feel cozy. / Beautiful colors in a fire. Rich blue & violet in glowing embers. "
