Falls gladly

Gerda Wegener


The delicate wrists, breaking the provincial canons of time,
grazed at monotonous landscapes & lifeless interiors,
brought her fame.
Munching looming twilight a new car & the muse resolutely
rippled through loneliness of streets to fresh beginning...

wet winter tufts
built up burden on cartwheels
way to obscurity

    the muse resolutely
    rippled through loneliness
    of streets to fresh beginning...

    Great lines humbird. Very much like the one who goes through trying times in the beginning but savored success later

    The idea of munching twilight is just lovely, and many other really cool combinations too. K.

    Whatever our impact on the world we ourselves are but leaves blown in the wind and soon forgotten.

    This is a perfect capture of the painting. Great choice of words too.

    You give us a strong sense of the underlayers of this picture playing themselves out in the artist's life.

    I like this so much that I don't even want to say anything beyond that. I just want to keep reading it over and over again. I love it.
