Life's a beach
Louder than gulls the little children scream
Whom fathers haul into the jovial foam;
But others fearlessly rush in, breast high,
Laughing the salty water from their mouthes--
Heroes of the nursery.
- Robert Graves

Oh Jilly I've been away from blogging too long...just look at what you've done here. It's all simply amazing.
ReplyDeletele bonheur est simple (encore faut-il avoir une plage, la mer et surtout un superbe beau temps ;o)) ). cela donne envie, mais je me demande si l'eau est si chaude que cela ? des petits courageux

ReplyDeleteThat's wonderful. Piero is the Graves fanatic in our house....reas most of his historical and fictional work.
ReplyDeleteGosh your people shots lately have been stunning.

ReplyDeleteThe jovial foam of childhood, how rapidly it dissipates; but only in the backwards glance, a kingdom's worth of days gone by.

ReplyDeleteA wonderful excerpt for the photo. But how can you miss with snaps of children and poems from Graves?! Great post, Jilly!!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely is this action shot and companion poem Jilly (I love RG). I like the framing of the figures and that blue water.
