Selected area of Charles Curran’s painting, Sunshine and Haze
Blue into white grows calm. December and April She isn't too old to be courted. She wants to praise A haunted whippoorwill and understand his ways, From whom she is learning songs of glen and hill. As sharp as a cardinal, a robin standing his ground, A hawk comes down, around, in sunshine and haze. What legerdemain defaces brief moments of time? February's birds have to wonder if Spring is near. By heaven as here below some grace must appear. Come rubies to her morning and raise the unseen Signs of her turquoise and bless her aquamarine. May she bring him soon the sacred night, the moon. Let mutes have proof of miracles. What legerdemain Or magical art can obscure the passing of time?
