To a Friend Whose Work Has Come to Nothing
By William Butler Yeats
Now all the truth is out,
Be secret and take defeat
From any brazen throat,
For how can you compete,
Being honor bred, with one
Who were it proved he lies
Were neither shamed in his own
Nor in his neighbors' eyes;
Bred to a harder thing
Than Triumph, turn away
And like a laughing string
Whereon mad fingers play
Amid a place of stone,
Be secret and exult,
Because of all things known
That is most difficult.

She resides in a rustic house in Tamworth, where she hosts writers (and others) and where she spends much time gardening. Artist's Musings: I have been dedicated to photographing my environment ever since I moved to northern New Hampshire. The Lakes Region and White Mountains present a myriad stunning images at every turn. Focusing the camera lens on the colors and forms of nature and country life has taught me...
