When I looked at the outfit pictures Buddy took on Monday, I was reminded of Emily Dickinson's poem, There's a certain slant of light. (I can't help it, it's the English teacher in me).
There's a certain slant of light,
On winter afternoons,
On winter afternoons,
That oppresses, like the weight
Of cathedral tunes.
Heavenly hurt it gives us;
We can find no scar,
But internal difference
Where the meanings are.
None may teach it anything,
'Tis the seal, despair,-
An imperial affliction
Sent us of the air.
When it comes, the landscape listens,
Shadows hold their breath;
When it goes, 't is like the distance
On the look of death.
I love how tangible that slant of light is in every single photo.
