I hate this grinding poverty— To toil, and pinch, and borrow, And be for ever haunted by The spectre of to-morrow. It breaks the strong heart of a man, It crushes out his spirit— Do what he will, do what he can, However high his merit! Henry Lawson (1896) |

Beautiful photo, Julie. But I see a sweet little face on your sidebar, so I'd better check her out to see what she's up to now!

ReplyDeleteWonderful photo!
ReplyDeleteWell chosen words to accompany this Black and White.
ReplyDeleteFabulous B&W shot Julie and wonderful Henry lawson reminder.
ReplyDeletevery moody piece despite the brilliance of the lights.
ReplyDeleteOnly some of Lawson translates into the modern world. But he does encapsulate the dichotomy of the Australian character vis-a-vie the bush and the city.
ReplyDeleteA moody and strong image. Perfect in BW Julie.

ReplyDeleteWonderful city shot in black and white. Great poem too. Sad how issues like poverty are timeless.
ReplyDeleteThe city looks beautiful even in BW! ..and such a fitting (..and a little ironic-- with the tall buildings in the backgound))poem for this image.
