No Devotion Greater Than Being Shore to the Ocean—R Frost

            The sea shore is framed both from above and from below by the plant kingdom: by a tree in blossom as well as by wild flowers. It is spring time in Nea Kallikrateia, Greece:

The undulating water’s colour is gradually turning into emerald greenish blue, alluring us, people, with transient and ephemeral promises of joy and pleasure during the forthcoming summer. Yet, in the shot there are also some lasting —or even perpetual— elements pictorially implied to us, such as …Devotion.

The photograph was inspired by the poem lines:

“The heart can think of no devotion
Greater than being shore to ocean -
Holding the curve of one position…”

—Robert Frost (Devotion)
