Good write Gold. I regret my KP marriage, but can\'t do a thing to change it now. Oh woe! I\'m stuck, attached to this ball and chain she put on me, and she\'s thrown away the key! heehee.

many rocks along the way!

Good write Gold. Erm yes, suppose so. No use getting on a bus or train and it never leaves the station!
But - I was on the road less travelled. I got lost! lol. Not many people about to ask for directions, as they had travelled that road less too!

How much more is to be spent in guarding it now ... insuring it ... cleaning it, ... housing it, etc.? Not to mention the personal cost of ownership ... worrying about its safety, about ones personal safety by tempting invasion by thieves. \"Every thing you own owns you\" ... true statement for sure.
Good write on an absurd event, Goldie!

Thanks ANDY ~ I guess the price paid $400 M + was illustrative not only of the Painter but also the Subject SALVATOR MUNDI ! The cost to God the Father in the sacrifice of His beloved Son JESUS ~ to be the SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD ~ was infinite ~ AMEN ~ BRIAN

It is worth what someone will pay for it, but only to that person who paid for it. People have different values according to their interests. I can appreciate the painting as fine art, and that it was painted so long ago by a well know artist makes it all the more admirable. But still, as you said in your poem Goldie, it\'s just paint on a canvas surrounded by wood. Personally, I\'ll take my camera outside and find a nice sunset and I\'ll be just as happy to frame that and have on my wall. Great write though Goldie.

It\'s a painting of its time and not one that has much appeal for me in the modern world - in fact quite an off-putting face - but as a pure investment being the only in private hands probably the greatest investment around - until some acknowledged \'expert\' declares that it is not by LDV after all - could end up with paint on her face,

It\'s crazy. It\'s evil really. Soooooo much could be done with the money spent out on that. Ah well, a fool and his/her money is soon parted, whether it had been a religious pic or whatever it may have been.

The book of life, what a wonderful way of looking at our lives. This poem is very special, Goldfinch! There are a few pages I would rather not re-visit, but overall I guess that book might be interesting for the next generation.

I can see this poem describing either \'A life\', or ongoing \'All life\'. Either way, it is a classic, Goldie! Beautifully done, Sir.

That pic reminds me of a Battle of Maiwand Lion we have in some town gardens. It weighs 16 tons! Look up Maiwand Lion or Forbury Lion to see it. \'For-bury\' I assume, as Reading Abbey and monks were nearby, until the Abbey dissolved. End of history spiel.
Of course, we were both there in 1880. A bit after 1066, I know!

\"W e are living Epistles ~ known & read of all men !\" I\'m only one third through my book (Deo Volentes) but when I read it back I sometimes wonder what message I\'m sending out \"I try to be good ~ \'cos I know that I should ~ that\'s my prayer at the end of each PAGE !\" An excellent poem ANDY in both Form and Function and a challenge to those of my generation just entering Phase 2 (35 to 65) of their lives. Thanks for sharing & caring ~ Yours BRIAN

A beautiful poem, Goldfinch! I like the way you relate words to music. The song is great too. Had to listen to it about five times in order to at least understand about half of the German words.

Claude Debussy is one of my favourites in the classical genre and this a wonderful very popular piece. Your words are peacefully inspiring. Life goes on in its most successful forms regardless of anything be it flood or meteor strike. But my words here carry nothing of the romance of yours. One of your best that i have read. Definately heads for my favourites.
