Rain on the roof and rain
On the burial-place of grain;
To one a voice in vain;
To one, o’er hill and plain
The pledge of life again
.

Rain on the sterile sea,
That hath no need of thee,
Nor keeps thy memory-
’Tis thou that teachest me
The range of charity
..John BannisterTabb

  • Winter is a time of snow, but it’s also a time of rain…the rain that freezes as it falls, the rain that comes mixed with snow, that can freeze your heart if you let it….

    I don’t like winter rain, I definitely prefer sunny snowy days! But I do like your painting, lovely colours and contrast and falling rain looks so nice… :)
    [you may guess what’s the typical winter weather here: yes, it’s rain…]

  • Thank you so much Lenka…nice to see you…winter in the city is warming up…an ominous sign….
