A Poem & A Painting: Day 8, Sailing with Paul
Sep 08 2014 · 1 comment · A Poem & A Painting, My Paintings ·0
Today’s painting, inspired by a recent visit to Maine with a friend, is doing double duty…
The Pleasure Boat
Come, hoist the sail, the fast let go!
They’re seated all aboard.
Wave chases wave in easy flow:
The bay is fair and broad.
The ripples lightly tap the boat.
Loose!- Give her to the wind!
She flies ahead:- They’re all afloat:
The strand is far behind.
O, might I like those breezes be,
And touch that arching brow,
I’d toil for ever on the sea
Where ye are floating now.
The boat goes tilting on the waves;
The waves go titling by;
There dips the duck;-her back she laves;
o’er head the sea-gulls fly.
~Richard Henry Dana
Sailing with Paul, 5″ x 7″, oil, $125
