l'attente
c'est la vie au ralenti,
c'est le cœur à rebours,
c'est une espérance et demie:
trop et trop peu à son tour.
c'est le train qui s'arrête en plein
chemin sans nulle station
et on entend le grillon
et on contemple en vain
penché à la portière,
d'un vent que l'on sent, agités
les prés fleuris, les prés
que l'arrêt rend imaginaires.
(r. m. rilke)

Wow so my french is so bad after all, because I understand the poem!
"c'est le train qui s'arrête en plein
chemin sans nulle station
et on entend le grillon
et on contemple en vain"
That refrain just works so well with the photo.
Amazing.
This is a deeply personal piece and I love the sentiments it conveys.
Lovely.

the photo couldn't have been impersonal because of the girl in the smaller pic. we go back a long way together. and the poem was really fit for the moment when i took the shot

yep, that's why it's worth carrying your camera around everywhere you go and shooting until people start getting annoyed
