Der Mönch am Meer (The Monk by the Sea), Caspar David Friedrich, 1810
Glad you think so, Shawn!
What a beautiful poem, mysterious and calming.
I love how the long look and relook at the image and reread of the poem illuminate and enrich. “To gird myself and pray….there’s a presence in the blue, a differing, tempting light…”
A rich spirituality. Brava!
Appreciate your engagement with both the art and the words, Dian!
Herr Friedrich would be pleased and honored, I should think. The monk's longing is palpable. Good stuff.
Such a wonderful compliment! So happy it worked well for you.
A loaded poem. Thank you
My pleasure!
