Nothing Gold Can Stay?
BY ROBERT FROST?
Nature?s first green is gold,?
Her hardest hue to hold.?
Her early leaf?s a flower;?
But only so an hour.?
Then leaf subsides to leaf.?
So Eden sank to grief,?
So dawn goes down to day.?
Nothing gold can stay.?
?
The poem’s meaning sets out the ‘green’ of youth is fleeting and nothing that is perfect lasts.? I’ve used this title a few times ( 2012 was the first). With this portrait I want to tackle fur and subtle turning within chiaroscuro lighting. Note the gold necklace in the left hand.?
Sold through the Albemarle Gallery?
