Description

Apophysis 2.00, PSP, Various Filters If it was only the dark voice of the sea That rose, or even colored by many waves; If it was only the outer voice of sky And cloud, of the sunken coral water-walled, However clear, it would have been deep air, The heaving speech of air, a summer sound Repeated in a summer without end And sound alone. But it was more than that, More even than her voice, and ours, among The meaningless plungings of water and the wind, Theatrical distances, bronze shadows heaped On high horizons, mountainous atmospheres Of sky and sea. -from Wallace Stevens, "The Idea Of Order At Key West" Thanks for viewing and all previous comments!

There is a solace but an unnerving silence as well. A dramatic hush fell over the room, idea here( as the narrator says ) I am here as well? Maybe this is just a serene recollection of something unmentionable? Great work, however the written words describe it :D Excellent!!!

The deep and the abode of the mariner are our first defense against slavery. No mere drumming is the pounding of the sea.

I could sworn I commented on this one! I know I looked at it! I could never forget it! I can see the calmness in the forground, moving to a stormy forboding behind. You have chosen tropical colors to help tell the story. Wonderful.

Wonderful work Jack. Living very close to the beach and sea, and coming from a fishermans family i can relate to both image and quote. It's strange, but i also distinctly remember of commenting on this work last night, it was the last image i viewed before i went to bed... Must be a lonely message now, somewhere lost in cyberspace ;-) Excellent work!!*
