Liquid as a lime tree blossom . . . .

A White Blossom

by D. H. Lawrence

A tiny moon as white and small as a single jasmine flower

Leans all alone above my window, on night’s wintry bower,

Liquid as lime-tree blossom, soft as brilliant water or rain

She shines, the one white love of my youth, which all sin cannot stain.

This image of Frederick E. Church's Niagara Falls' Horseshoe Falls was painted in 1857. He also painted American Falls. A member of the Hudson River School of painters led by Thomas Cole, Church's Niagara paintings are held by the Corcoran Gallery in Washington. Corcoran, also a college, is an amazing resource. As neighbors of Niagara, its majestic power is worth a regular visit.
