“Kindred Spirits” http://www.wsu.edu/campbelld/amlit/bryant.html
Carefully examine “Kindred Spiris” a painting by Asher B. Durand. In the painting William Cullen Bryant and Romantic painter Thomas Cole stand on a rock ledge overlooking a panoramic scene. Both Durand and Cole were early 19th century landscape painters.
Since it has been said that “a painting is a poem without words,” perhaps a poem is in some ways also a painting.
In “Thanatopsis” write the lines (not just the line numbers) that depict images that could be a painting.
In your own words describe what the painting of these lines would look like.
