Robert Fulton Visited By His Muse

And then there was the time when Robert Fulton was visited 

by his muse in the presence of a portable crowd.

Star Gazers

Outside on a clear night viewing the stars and planets. 

Is that someone I see viewing you?

Discourse Between Strangers

So much to say. So little said.

Intrepid Explorer

At the margins of the universe. Marginalized, so to speak. The intrepid explorer places his life in the hands of his machine.  Except that his machine has no hands!  

The Trials of Robert Fulton

Twas a calm day.  The surface of the river like glass.  The only sound, the gentle lapping of the water against the hull.   I broke the silence to the dismay of all around.  The clamor of the engine was tremendous.  We were off!    But, little did I know what dangers lurked just below.

Excelsior

Excelsior! 

At the instant of discovery

By finding myself, I find you

Drumond

And the cow jumped over the moon.
