The water nymphs, the river's daughters fair,
Enchant and sing, and murmer hauntingly
Of passion, and of love and love's despair.

There is a stream that flows into the sea,
And o'er this stream there is a stony bridge.
The water nymphs were waiting there for me.

🎨 Eduard Veith

Time present and time past
Are both perhaps present in time future,
And time future contained in time past.
If all time is eternally present
All time is unredeemable.

-- T. S. Eliot

🎨 Alois Delug, "Die Nornen" (1894)

Does the sea have emotions, I wonder,
Or is it just a matter of science?
Can the sea become "agitated,"
Or is it merely a chaotic combination
Of wind and moon and sun and season?

🎨 Monet, "Mer agitée à Étretat" (Agitated Sea at Étretat) (1883)

Has something caught her fancy, then --
Some bit of verse, some paragraph?
Perhaps it happened -- oh, but when --
A stolen kiss, a giddy laugh.

🎨 Conrad Kiesel (1846-1921), "Daydreaming"

The sea shells whisper together
While the nymph sings her song
It bubbles up to the surface
Through a sea of silver scales
And golden grotto dreams
A man hearing it
Forgets his life on land
Forgets even to breathe

🎨 Félix Mas, "The Mermaid"

I love to watch her sit and read a book,
This precious girl, this nascent woman fair.
Now in her chair, with that familiar look,

At once amused, but often filled with care.
She holds a small book level with her eyes,
And I am smitten hard and can but stare.

Lavery, The Red Book
