Time is in shadows and light, poetry and song

Steptoe Shadows by Mike Dawson
Steptoe Shadows by Mike Dawson


When I saw the truly awesome shot above I was reminded, for some reason, of this poem.......


 

Inscription for Katrina's Sun-Dial
- -by Henry Van Dyke


IN HER GARDEN OF YADDO
          HOURS fly
          Flowers die.
          New days,
          New ways,
          Pass by.
          Love Stays
             - - -
          Time is
Too Slow for those who Wait,
Too Swift for those who Fear,
Too Long for those who Grieve,
Too Short for those who Rejoice;
      But for those who Love,
          Time is Not.


And Van Dyke's poem, of course, brought a 60s rock classic (one of my favorites) to mind....... 
Time Is by It's a Beautiful Day

    Awesome, Lydia--I loved the Steptoe Shadows by Mike Dawson. You have introduced me to some wonderful pieces of artwork. I also love the Henry Van Dyke poem and I remember the 'It's a Beautiful Day' album from long in my youth!

    I thought you mentioned you had done a piece on Edward Hemingway? I didn't see it! Or perhaps I misunderstood the note you sent me.

    Take care,

    Melinda

    I dropped in from some other blog and was captivated here by a beautiful painting, an awesome tune.

    What a truly amazing picture, and I love how you take us to the poem and to the song. As I've said before, I love how your mind connects things, Lydia.

    Melinda~ I left a message for you elsewhere explaining the Hemingway post. I'm glad there was some confusion because it brought you here today so you could see the beautiful photo. :)

    lakeviewer~ I'm so happy that you stopped here awhile and please return! Your name seems a bit familiar and I wonder if I might have been your way in the past. I'll confirm that with a new visit...

    Erin~ You have said that before and it made me happy then as it did today. :) Glad you enjoyed this.

BEGINNING IN 2014 I will reply to only occasional comments here, while appreciating every visit and all comments! My reason is to enable me to utilize that time to read and comment on your blog posts instead! If/when I get more organized I may later return to replying to comments here, but one of my New Years resolutions is to spend more time at your sites: reading, enjoying, learning! Thank you for understanding.

If your blog is associated with a Google+ account, I may not be able to visit you from your namelink. I do not wish to join Google+ and the site sometimes requires that I do so in order to read/comment on posts there.
