Ghost on the windowpane

when the fields turn white

Posted on
painting of a countryside landscape at dawn, referring to a Victor Hugo poem "when the fields turne white", by Samuel Rondiere a.k.a. Sam Elka


“Demain, dès l’aube, à l’heure où blanchit la campagne
Je partirai.


Tomorrow, at daybreak, when the fields turn white,
I will go.”


Victor Hugo wrote so fiercely from the cradle to the grave
when his daughter drowned
he knew very well what words won’t do

when the fields turn white
27×35, oil on canvas
