TO A NORTHERN COASTLINE
by Alastair Blain
To a Northern Coastline
Past the peak of Day an’ Pine
A Wanderer,
In search of the Eternal Sunset
The Rocks are rounded
An’ wet as Whales beached upon
Some hidden Bank
The Light of the Sun
Bleeds into the Burning
Hues Of Dusk
The last Beam,
Bringing to Him
This Primal Dream
Thus reads the poem Mr. Blain wrote in honor of the southern shoreline in Norway while visiting the Nerdrum studio. For the occasion, he demonstrated a landscape painting from sketch and memory, while being interviewed by Jan-Ove Tuv.
