Visual Verse: Art in Nature with Symbiotic Verse is a photography book by John Parkinson published this month by Synergy Books.
Book Description
Visual Verse marries the splendor of the natural world with the glory of the written word. The photographs and verse work in concert to enhance awareness and appreciation for the majesty in nature. Indeed, our souls soar with the stimulation provided by God's art coupled with the inspiring words of His children.
One of the poems chosen is Fall, Leaves, Fall by Emily Brontë (1836?, 1838?), because according to the author, the poem is
a poignant expression of melancholy:Fall, leaves, fall; die, flowers, away;
Lengthen night and shorten day;
Every leaf speaks bliss to me
Fluttering from the autumn tree.
I shall smile when wreaths of snow
Blossom where the rose should grow;
I shall sing when night's decay
Ushers in a drearier day.
