This painting is another from the series that I referred to in my previous blog, all of
which center about favorite books of boyhood, and the frequent forgetfulness which is
often a part the equation, in children's, easily distracted lives. In this case, the child has
taken the book farther from home than he has before. He carried his book to the beach,
but there were many things to see and do on the beach, before settling down to read.
He explored the shore, gathering some of the sun-bleached, sea shells he discovered,
to take home with him when it was time for him to go. Then he wondered off, following
the calls of sea birds or other children. But he didn't think about the incoming tide, which
could claim his treasures before he remembers to return.
We can only hope that all such happy, adventurous lads grow up to enjoy lives with
a love of learning and discovery, before the inevitable tides of time and misfortune come
back again.
