“The Dryad,” Anne Brigman, 1905
“The Source,” Anne Brigman, 1907
Excerpt from W. H. Auden’s “Invocation to Ariel”
(a portion of “The Sea and the Mirror”)
Sing, Ariel, sing,
Sweetly, dangerously,
Out of the sour
And shiftless water,
Lucidly out
Of the dozing tree,
Entrancing, rebuking
The raging heart
With a smoother song
Than this rough world,
Unfeeling God.
O brilliantly, lightly,
Of separation,
Of bodies and death,
Unanxious one, sing …
“Woman by the Surf,” Anne Brigman
Photo of Oscar Maurier and his wife by Anne Brigman, 1903
“Silhouette of Oscar Maurer and His Wife Who Depart for Europe in a Few Weeks.”
“Invictus,” Anne Brigman, circa 1924
I don’t know if Brigman’s photo is a reference by William Ernest Henley’s 1888 poem of the same name.
