Atlantique, painted by Jean-Louis Courteau
The timeless waves, bright, sifting, broken glass,
Came dazzling around, into the rocks,
Came glinting, sifting from the Americas
To posess Aran. Or did Aran rush
to throw wide arms of rock around a tide
That yielded with an ebb, with a soft crash?
Did sea define the land or land the sea?
Each drew new meaning from the waves' collision.
Sea broke on land to full identity.
(Lovers on Aran, by Seamus Heaney)

He always did such wonderful seas. Especially those tossed by storms.
I should somehow get your multiply url for your Art Sunday Post so that I can link to that in the tour on 360 and people can do both and here on Blogger.
But Multiply won't let me visit since I deleted my account there so I am not sure how to easily do this. Could I link to your blogger page on Sunday and you link to Multiply?
