solitude sunday
solitude sunday at the whimsey project. our day to spend time with a book. any book will do but pay particular attention to those that have been waiting a long time to be read.
today's reading session with robert hughes' american visions: the epic history of art in america, was my favorite thus far. the topic was painting the american west; landscapes and native americans. by the time of remington, one of the best known artists for depicting the american west in art, the west was more tame than wild. he created western art of what people thought the west was instead of what it had become.

emily bronte:
fall, leaves, fall; die, flowers, away;
lengthen night and shorten day!
every leaf speaks bliss to me,
fluttering from the autumn tree.
