The Sill of the World

It lifted off from a chair-back,
Beating a smooth course for the right window
And clearing the sill of the world.

"A daughter is..."

Little Miss Romaine Lacaux by Pierre-Auguste Renoir

A daughter is not a passing cloud, but permanent,
holding earth and sky together with her shadow.

(The poem is by James Lenfestey; the painting by Renoir.)
