Apparitions

Just as I have struggled with words to describe the desert or understand Lawrence’s cryptic line, I have found it difficult to name this section. “Mirage” is too trite. “Dream” isn’t really specific. “Chimera” which popped to mind is really a mythical cross between several unrelated animals, although it also means an unrealized hope.

These images create a visual version of inarticulate speech. Bands of light and sand, changing winds, mythical rivers, feminine shapes, all these shapes come to mind as one views the images.

The more one studies the more one finds – and then loses.
