Gentle visitors, below a verbal snapshot of our recent trip through the Cantons de l'Est (Eastern Provinces) of Quebec, especially the beautiful Lake Memphrémagog and town of Magog.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Early on lac Memphrémagog
A gloomy vapor creeps,
And somewhere in/within the fog
The daylight hours sleep.
Beneath the surface, locals say,
There lurks a lake-borne ogre:
A serpent rarely seen in day,
Le monstre du Magog.
The monks of Saint-Benoît-du-Lac
In chanting Vigils pray
That the hours will soon awake
And drive the beast away.
