Sunset, August 3rd 2009

Tonight's sky reminded me of a painting by Mark Rothko or Clyfford Still (1904-1980).

I am indebted to my friend Justin for directing me to the Independent's obituary for Harold Norse, the last Beat poet, born in Brooklyn, 1916; died last month, in San Francisco.  

"His last words, uttered to his nurse, were 'the end is the beginning.'"
