SISLEY SAILED IN AND AWAY

alfred sisley,a french-english  impressionist landscapist paysagist

b.oct 30,1839

d.29 january 1899

Alfred Sisley sailed his soul
in and out and away.
He roared in rainbow
river and the road
to reflect
the routes of our life.
A national of Britany
he was born in Paris,France
He died in
Moret-Sur_loing,in France.
Not only on his canvas
but over most of his life.
France was his home
but not the islands
next door and in
neighborhood.
His landscape,as an impressionist
expanded
every year.
He Renoired.
He Monet-ed.
Then he reached
the unreachable
in a poetical language with
its words and syntax.
Salon was too small scale space for
his style
and so was the world.
He sang
but he was not
a singer
and he died with throat cancer.
Don't we all do
due to being mute
all our life?
