Berenice Abbott






Forgetfulness is like a song
That, freed from beat and measure, wanders.
Forgetfulness is like a bird whose wings are reconciled,
Outspread and motionless, --
A bird that coasts the wind unwearyingly.

Forgetfulness is rain at night,
Or an old house in a forest, -- or a child.
Forgetfulness is white, -- white as a blasted tree,
And it may stun the sybil into prophecy,
Or bury the Gods.

I can remember much forgetfulness.

Hart Crane

No way! Berenice is my idol...I think she's beautiful. She looks nothing like me but thanks!

I absolutely love her photographs, and can't even explain why, so I just posted them with no commentary. Glad you enjoyed them.
