First sight is the one that you never forget <br />and the one that you always desire <br />to capture again, like the time you first met, <br />when your heart for the first time caught fire. <br /> <br />The rest of your life you attempt to recapture <br />a moment that never returns, <br />but what happens later can’t bring back the rapture <br />that only a first sight discerns. <br /> <br /> <br />Pierre Bonnard painted his wife Marthe de Méligny 380 times, naked or clothed, as a series of apparitions and hints. He continued painting her with the body of a 30-year-old, even when he was 80 and had been dead for four years. <br /> <br /> <br />8/27/98 <br /><br />gershon hepner<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/first-sight-14/
