The Rohan Master

The Rohan Hours is a book I have had the pleasure of obtaining from my (now late) aunt Topsy. She was an ardent art enthusiast, and she gave me several art books when I helped her move to Minnesota from Boston. She gave me a wonderful gift in these books, and to share I plan

The life that hath not willed itself to be,

Must clasp the life that willed, and be at peace; Or, like a leaf wind-blown, through chaos flee; A life-husk into which the demons go, And work their will, and drive it to and fro; A thing that neither is, nor yet can cease, Which uncreation can alone release. GM

Many grotuesque and common forms of evil are being defeated (peacock – pride, pig – gluttony, funnel – drunkenness / surgical quackery?) A castle is

“things do go wrong…

…I know grief, pain and fear. I see them lord it sore and wide around.” From her fair twilight answers Truth, star crowned, “Things wrong are needful where wrong things abound. Things go not wrong; but Pain, with dog and spear, False faith from human hearts will hunt and hound. The earth shall quake ‘neath

new photo gallery viewer

if you look in the photo section you will see a new gallery viewer…it is pretty cool – and should allow you to do a kind of slide show once you view an image (GO SEE)…will be uploading more galleries as I figure this out.

panorama attempt

well this weekend it was misty and rainy – and I whipped out my Canon to shoot a quick panorama – and here we are…a sad panorama you say? Well – I don’t really have the panorama effect here – and for some reason I can’t upload the big version…and I am running out of
