"Hope" is the thing with feathers...

Picture
"Hope" is the thing with feathers--
That perches in the soul--
And sings the tune without the words--
And never stops—at all--

And sweetest—in the Gale—is heard--
And sore must be the storm--
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm--

I've heard it in the chillest land--
And on the strangest Sea--
Yet, never, in Extremity,
It asked a crumb—of Me.                        

~
Emily Dickinson

They'll be delivered to a gallery in a couple of weeks...the painting is always so fun and now the drudgery of wiring and documenting ;)

oh, I'm so happy I can comment here again! for a mysterious reason I was unable to leave a comment on your blog, but it seems blogger unblcked me :)

I love feathers, and yours are really perfect! but my first impression (when I saw this post a few days ago) was: I should read more poetry!

I'm so glad you're able to comment again...and glad you enjoyed the poetry. I always keep a few small poetry booklets in my studio for peace and inspiration.
