Pastoral

Finish every day and be done with it. For manners and for wise living it is a vice to remember. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. To-morrow is a new day; you shall begin it well and serenely, and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Two serene paintings by Frederick Cayley Robinson (1862-1927):

    Love the Emerson quote...very wise advice.

    And the paintings by Robinson are indeed serene...lovely to look at.

    This is the second time this week that I've come across Emerson's quote. Time to pay attention.

    Gorgeous artwork. Thanks for sharing it.
