Ars Poetica 1: Maple Leaf

"For all the history of grief/
An empty doorway and a maple leaf"
- Archibald MacLeish, "Ars Poetica"

One of a photo series I started after reading "Ars Poetica" in English class - it has some amazing images! It's the poem that sparked the modernist poetry movement, "a poem should not mean but be," and all - it's wonderful!
Beautiful poem - you can read it at [link]

I'm hoping to do one for each of the images in the poem - I have most of them, but am still trying to finish them up before I post them all. I'm still trying to get "wordless as the flight of birds"

Hope you like these, and thanks to my English professor Dr. Pollard for introducing me to this poem - and donkeys in Don Quijote
