The Cemetery

Were they horrified by the ragged men who were marching past on tired feet? The color of the sunflowers - orange and yellow, gold and brown - danced before my eyes. They grew in fertile brown soil, from carefully tended mounts - behind them, gnarled trees - and above it all, a deep blue sky. . .

Beautiful.

I am finding this book difficult and heart wrenching and art seems to be a way to access those feelings.
