The Setting Moon

The Setting Moon, oil on card, 9.7 x 11 cm  - available

Painted from my window: at times the was moon obscured  by clouds; later, as it set, by trees.

The moon

Dedicated to Larissa, nightwalker

Night resonance recedes, night-walkers' song

After great cathedral gong;

A starlit or a moonlit dome disdains

All that man is,

All mere complexities,

The fury and the mire of human veins

Y. B. Yeats, from Byzantium
