There are men who claim that their task is hard work, but have yet to feel the satisfaction of a day’s labor as most men and women experience it day after day in the effort to feed, clothe, and shelter loved ones.
But before virtue, the immortal gods have put the sweat of man’s brow; and long and steep is the way of it, and rugged at the first.
— Hesiod 8th Century B.C.
Happiness
Sheer delight in being
Seems so simple in youth
Ever more difficult as years go by
See it in a child’s happy face.

Between here and there
I be
Washed, warmed, and filled by the midday sun
With dreams of far beyond.
Between here and there
I be
Calmed, cooled, and enveloped by the midnight breeze
With dreams of days to come.

I can fly with pinafore wings, sailing upon Daddy’s shoulders.
Sitting on his shoulders, I feel all the world is mine.
With his hands holding me, all the world is safe.
This pose is easy, I thought—sitting down, my arm supported on a cushion. But after 20 minutes, I can only think of wrapping myself in my robe, standing, and stretching my back, legs, and fingers.
The model poses nude, but on this occasion the intricate pattern in her hair obscures her nudity – such is the enchantment of the braided locks of “Braided Nude”.
An edition of Braided Nude may still be available from E & S Gallery, Louisville, KY
