And that behind Orpheus’ laments shines
the glory of having seen, however fleetingly,
the unattainable face at the very instant it turned away . . .

Southern Dogface # 7 Leave a comment
Southern Dogface # 7 — Image by kenne
The southern dogface is a common butterfly this time of year here in Tucson,
and they are especially attracted to the Mexican Bird of Paradise blossoms.
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind;
In the primal sympathy
Which having been must ever be;
In the soothing thoughts that spring
Out of human suffering;
In the faith that looks through death,
In years that bring the philosophic mind.
— from 536. Ode Intimations of Immortality by William Wordsworth

I shall focus with photographs.
When images become inadequate,
I shall be content with silence.”

I’ve watched you now a full half-hour;
Self-poised upon that yellow flower
And, little Butterfly! Indeed
I know not if you sleep or feed.
How motionless! – not frozen seas
More motionless! and then
What joy awaits you, when the breeze
Hath found you out among the trees,
And calls you forth again!
~William Wordsworth, “To a Butterfly”
Becoming is Superior to Being
