Editors, Vineyard Gazette,

The pictures of the Wacks house perched on the edge of the cliff in the paper brought to mind the dark lines from Robert Frost’s Once by the Pacific: “The shattered waves made a misty din / Great waves looked over others coming in, / And thought of doing something to the shore / That water never did to land before.”
