Transience
if Finney taught me anything Finney taught me this That almost every person we see in almost every picture we admire is dead, or soon will be Their ephemeral joys are no more Their deep abiding pain is gone All of them that is to be known is what we see was seen of them
if Finney taught me anything Finney taught me this That life is fragile and far too short for otherwise wishing before we fall into death’s cold embrace Ours to endure this brief transience Ours to rejoice each day’s pleasure To accept our days as they come to hold as gift ere passing on
I was reading one of my art books when it hit me that every person in paintings has died, has been dead for a very long time. Yet in these pictures they are alive, we see their cares, their joys, a snapshot of who they were in the eyes of the artist.
