The phrase caught my eye too--it reminds me of the poem by Seamus Heaney called "Digging." Similar metaphor for the act/art of writing.

So, everytime I hear Mariana's Table, it reminds me of Chapin. Also in Bye, Bye the line about the fountain pen reminds me of Fishing, as I believe he used the same line in both songs. Again, that is fine. I never thought I would hear the use of a fountain pen in a song anywhere again! LOL Wonderful CD. Oh, my CD EP cover? They sent me a promotional CD of Not Far Now, as the cover to that is the same type of cover, but with Shindell in the chair. Soooooo, I wrote to Signature Sounds and they got it right the next time with the right cover.
