"Absent Place -- an April Day --" by Emily Dickinson

 

30 April 2012

Absent Place -- an April Day --
Daffodils a-blow
Homesick curiosity
To the Souls that snow --

Drift may block within it
Deeper than without --
Daffodil delight but
Him it duplicate --

Visiting Thomas D'Arcy McGee's mausoleum, at Cote des Neiges Cemetery, fourteen years ago, on 20 April 2010. The other mausoleums along this road belonged to the families of prominent Montrealers of that time, the mid- to late-1800s.

The Montreal Museum of Fine Art is one of the reasons Montreal is a great city. it's also one of the things I love about this city. The Museum was founded in 1860; it was originally located on Philip's Square and was a part of the Art Association of Montreal. The current exhibition is Georgia O’Keeffe and Henry Moore, Giants of Modern Art; here are some photographs taken on 21 April when we visited the Museum to see this excellent exhibition.
