I love the water in this painting - wonderful colors and detail and depth, but what you notice most is the girl with the gull. Lots of wonderful details here for picture study.
(Oops - I have one more piece of music by Edvard Grieg . It is from Peer Gynt and is called Solveig. You can listen to it as an instrumental piece here
or sung in Norwegian by Sarah Brightman Solveig - Sarah Brightman
An interesting though fairly lengthy biography of Alfred Lord Tennyson can be read here
Break, Break, Break
Break, break, break,
On thy cold gray stones, O Sea!
And I would that my tongue could utter
The thoughts that arise in me.
O, well for the fisherman's boy,
That he shouts with his sister at play!
O, well for the sailor lad,
That he sings in his boat on the bay!
And the stately ships go on
To their haven under the hill;
But O for the touch of a vanish'd hand,
And the sound of a voice that is still!
Break, break, break
At the foot of thy crags, O Sea!
But the tender grace of a day that is dead
Will never come back to me.
