the way home

Chichester Canal
J.M.W. Turner


The trees are jewel black on the horizon
exquisite in their definition
and I see a new landscape unfold
although I have driven that way before.

*****

"We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time."

T.S. Eliot
Four Quartets

  2. I love those words of T S Eliot. I have them written in an old notebook that I started at 18yrs old, for favourite bits of this and that.

  3. Finally. A bit of TS Eliot that he allows us to understand.

  4. I always remember going to a major JMWT exhibition when I was at school - made a real impression on me - no pun intended.

    Nothing beats a decent sunset or sunrise for that matter
