Above the deep
above the heaving, deep blue sea
within the dark
within the storm-roiled, dark clouds
a shaft of light broke through --
by God, it broke through to reach me

🎨 Emil Nolde, "Light Breaking Through" ("Durchbrechendes Licht") (1950)

Forth upon the Gitche Gumee,
On the shining Big-Sea-Water,
With his fishing-line of cedar,
Of the twisted bark of cedar,
Forth to catch the sturgeon Nahma,
Mishe-Nahma, King of Fishes,
In his birch canoe exulting
All alone went Hiawatha.

🎨 N. C. Wyeth, "Hiawatha Fishing" (1907)

Water lilies are floating on the pond
(do you see -- can you see them?)
they exist on the boundary of two worlds

I see yet another world
reflected on the water's surface
a weeping willow bending low

🎨 Claude Monet, "Nymphéas" ("Water Lilies") (c. 1915)

I saw her from down below --
saw her dancing, exuberant
in a clump of small trees
at the top of a lonely hill --
dancing like a sylvan nymph
in an ancient, sacred grove

🎨 Prudence Heward, "Girl on a Hill" (1928)

I try to remember her
to piece together my memories of her
but it was so long ago
and so confusing, even then

She is infused with a blue sadness
and her image in my mind
has become two dimensional, flat

🎨 Henri Matisse, "Nu bleu II" (1952)
