Artist's Description
The spirit of Man
Resembles water:
Coming from heaven,
Rising to heaven,
And hither and thither,
To Earth must then
Ever descend.
Wind is the water’s
Sweet lover:
Wind stirs up foaming
Waves from the deep.
Spirit of Man
How like water you are!
Man’s fate, oh,
How like the wind!
Excerpted from Song of the Spirits Over the Water by Wolfgang Von Goethe
Last Christmas we stayed with friends in Colorado and each morning, as is my habit, I went out early with my dog to explore. I take my camera on these outings because you just never know what you'll discover in the early morning light. This little creek was just a short walk from the house. I stood on a small bridge to make this picture. I've been looking at it for a year wondering what to do with it. The other night, I felt inspired and remembered the poem by Goethe. I thought it's title was a fitting title for this image.
May the spirits over th...

Daliana Pacuraru
I love the snow, the crumpling snow/ That hangs on everything,/ It covers everything below/ Like white dove's brooding wing,/ A landscape to the aching sight,/ A vast expanse of dazzling light./ It is the foliage of the woods/ That winters bring--the dress,/ White Easter of the year in bud,/ That makes the winter Spring./ The frost and snow his posies bring,/ Nature's white spurts of the spring./ Fantastic image, William! v/f

Thank you Daliana and especially thank you for this lovely poem. Is it your own?
