The Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert in Brussel opened in 1847 drew a wide audience, attracted by elegant cafés and cultural spaces. The colony of French refugees, like Victor Hugo, Alexandre Dumas, Edgar Quinet and others, would also gather there.
The spring has brought its blessing love
& daiseys deck the lea
Both green & grove is dressing love
In sweetest smiles for thee
I view your beauty sleeping love
So sweet & innoscent
& if your sleep Im breaking love
Wi but a harmless kiss
Lets hope ye wornt at waking love
Such trifles take amiss
How beautifull the morning blue
& light o nearly grey
Each herb & flower is wet wi’ dew
Where toil begins the day
The crimson curtains o’ the sky
Already turns to dun
& burning over heads o kye
The skylark hails the sun
All nature has a feeling: woods, fields, brooks
Are life eternal; and in silence they
Speak happiness beyond the reach of books;
There's nothing mortal in them; their decay
Is the green life of change; to pass away
And come again in blooms revivified.
Its birth was heaven, eternal is its stay,
And with the sun and moon shall still abide
Beneath their day and night and heaven wide.
A little LOVE tonight...I had fun with this piece. I hand placed each rectangle to form the dimension and I liked it. But it felt empty so I kept going back to it for about a week. Then had the idea of ascending hearts. That was it! It just makes me happy. :)
Dawn at the Jetty. The jetty was built to protect the Hatteras Lighthouse in it's original location. The Lighthouse has since been moved further inland, however the jetty still reaches out into the Atlantic. Dawn lights up the sky with orange.
