Derived from the Greek for wind and the red anemone being associated with Aphrodite's tears - a haiku: -

Ancient windflower—

Aphrodite’s grief made bright

By the painter’s hand

I love this, Brian, and I may have a tear in my eye.

I especially loved the image of wearing what has withered instead of hiding it. It gives the painting a quiet sense of dignity and continuation. Thank you for this thoughtful response to Verster’s work.
