Description
First on the sexes’ intermix’d connexion,
One sacred Right of Woman is protection.
The tender flower that lifts its head, elate,
Helpless, must fall before the blasts of fate,
Sunk on the earth, defac’d its lovely form,
Unless your shelter ward th’ impending storm.
From the poem Rights of Woman by Robert Burns
Subtitled “An Occasional Address. Spoken by Miss Fontenelle
on her benefit night, November 26, 1792”
It is astonishing to me that Robert Burns wrote of the rights of women in 1792! Twenty Six years earlier the American founding fathers were crafting words to protect the rights of men but they never saw fit to even give women a vote. Yet, here was Burns in so early a day as to be thought of as one of the first feminists.
This picture is in the Missouri Ozarks, near Branson. I was on a high ridge and could see this storm moving in. I found it to be an extremely dramatic pictorial story even though the picture is almost featureless.

William, I especially appreciate the way that the landscape itself seems to mirror the roiling clouds of the sky. It's as if the entire earth is bracing for the storm. voted

Thanks Cheri for your always thoughtful comments. I'm honored to have your friendship

v3, PIF4 CFC, the storm clouds with the break though lighting really make this image pop. The processing of the image is outstanding.
