Autumn - overlooked my knitting

Autumn - overlooked my Knitting -

Dyes - said He - have I -

Could disparage a Flamingo -

Show Me them - said I -

Cochineal - I chose - for deeming

It resemble Thee -

And the little Border - Dusker -

For resembling Me.

Poem by Emily Dickinson.

Painting, Sunbeam, 1890, Gustav Wentzel.

Fabulous post!
So dreamy!

[ I have been hoping/planning to do some indigo shibori dying...but find that I tend more to the sitting and knitting! LOL!]

It always pleases me to see how much you and dovegreyreader seem to like Emily Dickinson.

Painting and poem have made a very good start to my day. Thank you.

Maybe this will act as a gentle push in the right direction, Lila!
