Part II
Ferdinand rode his Model T Ford through the city, up into the mountains, to the
valley pastures noisily southeast catching the wind from the hills
Many times he wanted Joana to show him some new beauty within the
valley, the river or perhaps the old warrior sites
Quickly they rode through the bleak cobblestone passages, elbows touching, winds whistling, black shaded areas following as if a shadow was caught on the back of
the car
(areas to the side of the lower hills, smothered with undergrowth)
There was a dotted beauty to the black, gray and white substances
mixed into the layers of rock, gleaming from the rays of the sun
And then they found her father’s cottage, in a quiet valley among the
mountains, the winds still echoing as they seeped through the passages,
Now gazing quietly, he turned to Joana; she returned his look, both
looking at the cottage and the valley mountains (each other)
Saw the tips of the immense mountains possessing the entire valley,
enveloping it, as a mother guarding her child
They could see the barn-roof and red shingle-stone house roof
Like a ship anchored off shore; he thought now of Joana.
Towards twilight he and she drove to the house; Manual
Was leaving it and young Ferdinand said, “Listen, Joana,
We’ve had nice times together and drove all day.
I’m tired; I don’t wish to see any of our friends this weekend.
Tell them to stay away.” “Of course,” said the other
“as you wish, but I shall only tell it to your friends,
do you think my mind is not well yet, think again?”
Ferdinand drove down the embankment, to the cottage
She, wondering why his face was quivering
A jerk, contracting almost, with red anger; Joana
Wondered why he got out of the car and went
Directly into the cottage without a word spoken
Straight faced and squinting eyes
Could it be: jealousy or passiveness in him; her father
Met her at the door, she told him the news of their
Distressful night caught between the tides.
Assured him, Ferdinand was faithful, did not
Abandon her, nor take advantage of her–
“There is a fest at ‘Pablo’s Inn,’ this evening,
You’ll enjoy it, you and Ferdinand,” he said
thinking she’d go to it
“Go down the valley, Joana, drive the car slow,
have a good time,” he added.
“But he doesn’t want to go this evening, or any evening,
I believe he wants me all to himself!”
“Better you go to the fest down in the valley, lest you,
you put your young life in a box
“The devil’s in the box, Joana, the devil,” then her
Father lit the oil lamp, on the table, “just an
old man’s words, come winter you will be in the
house, save there is no other place to be.
Make your life pleasant, if you squabble now, how
will it be when you are old?” The old man
Smiling at her, “Let him daydream, go live!”

What kind of sealant do you recommend for closing the upper chamber of a sea shell in order to make…?
a reservoir for an oil lamp?
I am trying to make oil lamps out of conch shells for decorations and to give away as favors for my wedding. I don’t think it will be that difficult with a little trial and error, but I just want to get some ideas as to what kind of sealant I should use to close off the tip of the shell so that I can drill a hole and put oil and a wick into it. Only genuine suggestions please…no smarta*s snide remarks. :] Thanks.

****By the way******
There is a company that has a patent for the process of sealing the shell in order to make an oil reservoir, and I just want to be clear that I am in no way trying or hoping to steal that patent. I would purchase the shells from that unnamed company but I don’t have enough $$$ in my wedding budget to spend $20-30/shell
I would try Plaster of Paris in a fairly stiff mixture. If you smear some of it in the wrong place it is fairly easy to remove. Incidentally, check the patent on Google Patent. If it is more than 20 years old it will have expired and anyone is free to use the stuff in it. This is something that most patent holders definitely do not want you to know. (I work in patents).
