Allen Ginsberg - Cezanne's Ports lyrics

In the foreground we see time and life swept in a race toward the left hand side of the picture where shore meets shore. But that meeting place isn't represented; it doesn't occur on the canvas. For the other side of the bay is Heaven and Eternity, with a bleak white haze over its mountains. And the immense water of L'Estaque is a go-between for minute rowboats.
