D.S. Lamoureux (1964 – present)
“The Time has come…
the Walrus said, ‘ to talk of many things: of shoes and ships and sealing-wax, of cabbages and kings.’ ”
Lewis Carrol
“The Walrus and the Carpenter”
Victorian author. philosopher, and fantasist
Image: L’Aurora – 1614 – Guido Rene – Rome – based on Muse of the Dawn (c. 700 BC) or The Flight of Icarus (c.100 BC).
(“What most people forget is that Icarus really flew. His flight just came to an end.” from a Letter to A. Bourdain – 2018)
This compilation by D.S. Lamoureux contain a true “miscellany” of themes – with seeming little relationship to one another.
Each share the author’s roughly chronological quest for deeper meaning among the “familiar” – or how the seemingly common can be a window to the uncommon in life.
“The truest beauty is beheld within the simplicity of the complex”.

“To Trains Missed – and Ships that Never Sailed…”
An Ode to Organized Religion, 2021
Yorba Linda, California 2019
“The great Tree calls to it’s own cluster of souls: HOME. Here they return – lives re-touching an eternal soil, from high branches to time’s own roots. Each bloom in their seasons – some long, some short, each blossom a ‘LIFE’ – painful and joyful – in a woven tapestry that is still being weaved…”

Joining the Native American Indian population, principally the Algonquin peoples, they became fur traders in the Montreal area, until eventually coming to the Shoreham area in the United States through its fourteen colony – “Verde Mont” – Vermont.
