“His talent was as natural as the pattern that was made by the dust on a butterfly’s wings. At one time he understood it no more than the butterfly did and he did not know when it was brushed or marred. Later he became conscious of his damaged wings and of their construction and he learned to think and could not fly any more because the love of flight was gone and he could only remember when it had been effortless.” – Ernest Hemingway

  3. I’m not familiar with the quote but I like it and the yellow butterfly certainly illustrates the “damaged wings”. Took me a couple of views to see the tear on the right. Is the black one in flight or stationary? Regardless it’s a nice capture.

  4. Love the cool stormy lemon and the dark brooding black of the butterflies wings to match the stormy tropical Hemingway quote. Inspiring and soul boosting as always. Thank you.
