Loc: Poole's Slough, OR
The caption is a ruba'i, which you may know from Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, rubaiyat being the plural, in Persian, for a ruba'i, a special form of quatrain. I use these for captions.
I live beyond the reach of number, street and GPS.
Around me water, marsh, and forest wildness.
I have not won life’s lottery—success,
just a Pilgrim’s progress to the Slough of Happiness. *
*In John Bunyan’s once famous allegory Pilgrim’s Progress, the hero has to cross the Slough of Despond.
I live beyond the reach of number, street and GPS.
Around me water, marsh, and forest wildness.
I have not won life’s lottery—success,
just a Pilgrim’s progress to the Slough of Happiness. *
