Something in the snow
Oil on
canvas, 2014, 80 X 70 cm .
“I found a
dimpled spider, fat and white,
On a white
heal-all, holding up a moth
Like a
white piece of rigid satin cloth -
Assorted
characters of death and blight
Mixed ready
to begin the morning right,
Like the
ingredients of a witches’ broth -
A snow-drop
spider, a flower like a froth,
And dead
wings carried like a paper kite.
What had
that flower to do with being white,
The wayside
blue and innocent heal-all?
What
brought the kindred spider to that height,
Then steered
the white moth thither in the night?
What but
design of darkness to appall? - -
If design
govern in a thing so small.”
Design, by
Robert Frost. 1922.
