Recordando Jean Béraud e Emily Dickinson!

Gostei deste quadro de Jean Béraud por causa da cor e da luminosidade que o pintor empregou.

We don't cry—Tim and I x

196 x

We don't cry—Tim and I, We are far too grand— But we bolt the door tight To prevent a friend—

x Then we hide our brave face Deep in our hand— Not to cry—Tim and I— We are far too grand—

x Nor to dream—he and me— Do we condescend— We just shut our brown eye To see to the end—

x Tim—see Cottages— But, Oh, so high! Then—we shake—Tim and I— And lest I—cry—

x Tim—reads a little Hymn— And we both pray— Please, Sir, I and Tim— Always lost the way!

x We must die—by and by— Clergymen say— Tim—shall—if I—do— I—too—if he—

x How shall we arrange it— Tim—was—so—shy? Take us simultaneous—Lord— I—"Tim"—and Me! x
