[Time Is] is one of Henry van Dyke's best known poems. It was first published in the 1904 collection, and was better known as a reading at the funeral of Diana in 1997.
This poem is very concise and leaves a lot of lingering impression. In other versions of the poem, 'not' is also written as 'eternity'.
After reading this poem, I chose a picture.
I think it's a poem that sensibly expresses the relative and subjective nature of time. I think it's going to be too hard to find a picture that feels like a perfect match for this poem, but I still chose this one.
Now this is a manuscript of it.
I transcribed this poem with a Waterman fountain pen.
Time Is By Henry van Dyke
Time is
Too Slow for those who Wait,
Too Swift for those who Fear,
Too Long for those who Grieve,
Too Short for those who Rejoice;
But for those who Love,
Time is not.
Then I'll show you the original version of this picture.

I also took this picture on March 16, the same day I posted it on my blog here before. It was a pretty bright sun-lit plum blossom, but I used spot photometry to take a dark picture of the surroundings.

For the next picture, I will post pictures and poems with a more different atmosphere. 🤗
