Present Joys

“We thank the Lord of heaven and earth
who hath preserved us from our birth
for present joys, for blessings past,
and for the hope of heaven at last.”

Frederic Leighton. David: “Oh, that I had wings like a Dove! For then would I fly away, and be at rest.” Psalm 55:6. 1865.

I saw this painting in person at the Cleveland Museum of Art yesterday and it is beautiful.

Shoutout to this beautiful painting. I was back at the Cleveland Museum of Art earlier today and made sure to spend some time in front of this lovely piece of work.
