BEACH BEAUTY

... i may’ve posted this one some time ago, but even if so it’s one of my favorites and i can’t see the harm in the repetition ...


... i’m guessing that this was taking on guam, either the n.c.s. or tarague beach, sometime between 1965 and 1968 ... in his tidy half-printing/half-cursive handwriting pa neatly inscribed the cardboard slide mount, “gaynel on the beach—what a babe” ... the picture of course, brings to me great memories, while each time i read again the annotation i’m brought to most wonderfully sad tears ...

... beauty is unbearable, drives us to despair,
offering us for a minute the glimpse of an eternity
that we should like to stretch out over the whole of time ...
