Echoes

How sweet the answer Echo makes
To Music at night
When, roused by lute or horn, she wakes,
And far away o'er lawns and lakes
Goes answering light!

Yet Love hath echoes truer far
And far more sweet
Then e'er, beneath the moonlight's star,
Of horn or lute or soft guitar
The songs repeat.

'Tis only when the sigh, -- in youth sincere
And only then,
The sigh that's breathed for one to hear --
Is by that one, that only Dear
Breathed back again.

ECHOES

Lewis Carroll,1883

Echoes is the title of a brilliant surf movie made in the late Sixties. Shot in entirely George Greenough's revolutionary Greenough Vision, Echoes shows surfing from the surfer's perspective. The roughly 40 minute movie is made up entirely of shots from within the tube. Pink Floyd composed the soundtrack for it in exchange for having it projected on the ceiling at a concert. Filmed on a kneeboard at local southern California surf spots like Rincon and the Hollister Ranch. Echoes follows in the wake of The Innermost Limits of Pure Fun and Voyage of the Crystal Light. While few copies of these works remain, they are a great look into early SoCal surf culture and the visions of a brilliant man.
