 close to straight from camera



Christina Georgina Rossetti. 1830–1894

Aloof

THE irresponsive silence of the land,
The irresponsive sounding of the sea,
Speak both one message of one sense to me:—
Aloof, aloof, we stand aloof, so stand
Thou too aloof, bound with the flawless band
Of inner solitude; we bind not thee;
But who from thy self-chain shall set thee free?
What heart shall touch thy heart? What hand thy hand?
And I am sometimes proud and sometimes meek,
And sometimes I remember days of old
When fellowship seem'd not so far to seek,
And all the world and I seem'd much less cold,
And at the rainbow's foot lay surely gold,
And hope felt strong, and life itself not weak.

I did not recognize the poem until I looked it up. I have now enjoyed reading it. Thank you.
I love your beautifully soft and gentle image.

Not easy to find, but I think you were "aloof" today.

For me this one is "too" high key. I do enjoy high key images, but the colors here are just too washed out. I think you could have toned it back just a wee bit to allow the colors to come through a bit stronger and still hold onto the high key feel. I believe it would have made for a stronger image.
