Mayon Volcano and the ruins of Cagsawa Church Belfry, AlbayThe church remains buried with the reamains of the faithful
who sought refuge from a violent eruption in the 18th century
when the Philippines was then a colony of Spain. Photo taken
by the author in 1978
Tranquility reigns on her face, rage in her breast,
If beauty exudes best from a spring of force,
I do not wonder at the shyness of a crest,
And the power of a single rose.
