as a child. Here, this night,
grandfather many times over,
I lie in this same first home
of the grandfather I never knew,
who died before I came to know
a father could have a father.
In mountain darkness I listen
to the silence of the house,
first room hammered square
two and a half centuries past,
beams hand-hewn, timber
from steep slopes eavesdropping now,
the house expanded by generations
coming down the centuries
like logs from the mountainside,
farm name and family name the same.
In the house of my father’s father,
where this mountain stillness
tucked round him like a quilt,
I drift off to sleep,
dream ancestral dreams --
cold dreams of stone fences,
warm dreams of evening lamps
and dinner table din;
gentle dreams of cows,
neck bells clinking them
home for milking time,
plashy dreams of silvery salmon
finning the Suldal River
from the sea to spawn
(I imagine I hear the water
move through the dark).
In the house of his childhood
I dream my grandfather’s dreams
and I am a child as well.
An ocean removed from home
in a country I had never seen,
wrapped in the comforter
of my history, I dream
my grandfather’s dreams.
Comfort in familiarity and fear of change. This gentleman and the generations of his family before him have only ever known this farmhouse. They may link it with remaining in that farmhouse, going through the same motions, and taking in the same sights each day.
A way of remembering when a circumstance, event, place, person, or the like elicits a vague sense of familiarity and is thereafter thought to be remembered even though it is not clearly recalled.
The person finds solace in the knowledge that no ill befell those who came before them. The last paragraph, in which they compare their history to a blanket as if to indicate that it is something that makes them feel comfortable and cozy, is the most illustrative of this concept.
Thus, Comfort in familiarity and fear of change.
