Created in September of 2008 on a rainy September day, this series
was featured in 2009 by a sister site to Behance.Net. The emotions of
sadness and grief have long fascinated Falcon, from the creation of his
first series, Tea and Sympathy, to the present.
This series takes its name from a sonnet from Edna St Vincent Millay - the
words follow. The depth of sadness that is in evidence in each of these
photos captures the sense of loss and sadness that fill this sonnet.
Time does not bring relief; you all have lied
Who told me time would ease me of my pain!
I miss him in the weeping of the rain;
I want him at the shrinking of the tide;
The old snows melt from every mountain-side,
And last year's leaves are smoke in every lane;
But last year's bitter loving must remain
Heaped on my heart, and my old thoughts abide.
There are a hundred places where I fear
To go,—so with his memory they brim
And entering with relief some quiet place
Where never fell his foot or shone his face
I say, "There is no memory of him here!"
And so stand stricken, so remembering him!
