The sunset caught me, turned the brush to copper,/ set the clouds/ to one great roof of flame/ above the earth.

More Elizabeth Coatsworth on Wikipedia.When I dream, I am ageless.
To a life that seizes/ Upon content,/ Locality seems/ But accident.
Outwardly I am 83, but inwardly I am every age, with the emotions and experience of each period.
Only of one thing I am sure:/ when I dream/ I am always ageless.
