AG2025_DSF6194b or did we falter
It was summer when I found you
In the meadow long ago,
And the golden vetch was growing
By the shore.Did we falter when love took us
With a gust of great desire?
Does the barely bid the wind wait
In his course? -
I felt her presence, by its spell of might
AG2025PXL_20250625_002141827.RAW-02.ORIGINALa
I heard the trailing garments of the Night
Sweep through her marble halls!
I saw her sable skirts all fringed with light
From the celestial walls!
I felt her presence, by its spell of might,
Stoop o’er me from above;
The calm, majestic presence of the Night,
As of the one I love.
Hymn to the Night, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Glimpses ineffable of things divine

The subtlest strain a great musician weaves,
Cannot attain in rhythmic harmony
To music in his soul. May it not be
Celestial lyres send hints to him? He grieves
That half the sweetness of the song, he leaves
Unheard in the transition. Thus do we
Yearn to translate the wondrous majesty
Of some rare mood, when the rapt soul receives
A vision exquisite. Yet who can match
The sunset’s iridescent hues? Who sing
The skylark’s ecstasy so seraph-fine?
We struggle vainly, still we fain would catch
Such rifts amid life’s shadows, for they bring
Glimpses ineffable of things divine.Limitations, Henrietta Cordelia Ray

There were no photos of them, but they were there in the pictures of trees behind their houses, the fields where they worked, the river they fished, the church where they testified, the joints where they drank. (TM)
