With Such A Sky
It is a beauteous Evening, calm and free,
The holy time is quiet as a Nun
Breathless with adoration; the broad sun
Is sinking down in its tranquility;
The gentleness of heaven broods o'er the Sea:
Listen! the mighty Being is awake,
And doth with his eternal moon make
A sound like thunder --- everlastingly
-William Wordsworth (1770-1850)
With the summer beginning to wind down, we have been having some very fine sunsets here in Brooklyn, and it is a short trip for me to the fire escape with my watercolors and some paper. Caught this one that was so strange, with the sun looking like some wounded saint resting in these thick, woolen clouds.
