Photo Friday: Sunrise

Sunrise in November in southern Helsinki. In the background Suomenlinna Fortress island.

You cannot shut the windows of the sky
Through which Aurora shows her brightening face.
James Thompson (Castle of Indolence, 1748)

"Et voi sulkea taivaan ikkunoita, kun Aurora kurkistaa sieltä kirkkain kasvoin.." kirjoitti James Thompson runossaan auringonnoususta. Auroraan liittyy paljon symboliikkaa, yksi asia on auringonnousu, aamu, kaiken alkaminen. Se sopi minusta hyvin kirjaan, joka kertoo aamuvirkusta tytöstä, joka rientää varhain sunnuntaiaamusin laaksoon kävelemään, piirtämään ja keräämään kasveja. Suuren kartanon kaikki mut asukkaat ovat vielä nukkumassa. Runoteos on vertauskuva ahkeruudesta.
Skotlantilaisen Thompsonin runoteos on vaikuttanut muodollaan romantiikan ajan runouteen (Byron, Keats)
