Of Splendour In The Grass

22" x 28" Painting: Acrylic on Canvas.

Inspired by William Wordsworth’s “Ode: Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood.”

“Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower,
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind,
In the primal sympathy
Which having been must ever be,
In the soothing thoughts that spring
Out of human suffering,
In the faith that looks through death,
In years that bring the philosophic mind.”
