Kookaburra

I was born
with a mole on the left side of my back,
near the heart.
Sadly, many others aren't so lucky.

We are in the midst of a noise of water,
Of the confused and mingled sounds of water broken by stones,
And in the deep darkness of pine trees.

A View from the Artist's Window by Martinus Rørbye (1803-1848).
A leading figure of the Danish Golden Age, Rørbye was celebrated for his intimate genre scenes and luminous landscapes. Born #OTD on May 17, 1803, in Drammen, Norway, this early masterpiece (1825) shows the view from his family home in Copenhagen—complete with potted flowers on the sill, an open window, and the bustling harbor beyond.
A quiet celebration of everyday beauty and light.🌸📖

In some melodious plot,
Of beechen green, and shadows numberless,
Singest of summer in full-throated ease."
