string theory poem

Pamela Hart says,

I made this from a photograph I took when my husband was fly-fishing. His line on the water’s surface created an image that somewhat reminded me of line drawings by Matisse, who said of the line, “One must always search for the desire of the line, where it wishes to enter or where to die away.”

    From the placement of the words on the page, to the dance of the line, to your comments about Matisse and the photo, a lovely postal poem.

    Your words and the photo are a perfect, beautiful match. Yes, that “love of swirl,” the love of the line in both senses! Great Matisse quote, too.
