Marija & Petras Olšauskai: Miss Bird

“But what can I write! Such words as jets, fountains, waves, spray convey some idea of order and regularity, but here there was none . . . . It was all confusion, commotion, force, terror, glory, majesty, mystery, and even beauty. “

                                                          Miss Bird’s impression on the Kilauea volcano.
