Over Fields of Fruitless Corn

“Pale, without name or number,
In fruitless fields of corn,
They bow themselves and slumber
All night till light is born ;
And like a soul belated,
In hell and heaven unmated,
By cloud and mist abated
Comes out of darkness morn.”

– Exerpt from “The Garden of Proserpine” by Algernon Charles Swinburne

Barbaric Black and Burning Gold

Deep with divine tautology,
The sunset’s mighty mystery
Again has traced the scroll-like west
With hieroglyphs of burning gold:
Forever new, forever old,
Its miracle is manifest.

Time lays the scroll away. And now
Above the hills a giant brow
Of cloud Night lifts; and from his arm,
Barbaric black, upon the world,
With thunder, wind and fire, is hurled
His awful argument of storm.

What part, O man, is yours in such?
Whose awe and wonder are in touch
With Nature,–speaking rapture to
Your soul,–yet leaving in your reach
No human word of thought or speech
Commensurate with the thing you view.

– “Sunset and Storm” by Madison Julius Cawein

Beneath The Storm

Sorrows gather around great souls
as storms do around mountains;
but, like them, they break the storm
and purify the air of the plain beneath them.

New Roads

New Roads, originally uploaded by Loren Zemlicka.

Throughout the centuries there were men who took first steps,
down new roads, armed with nothing but their own vision

This is my first real attempt at time lapse video.
I have a ton of shooting to do, now that I see this technique works – New Roads of creativity ahead.
