These are photos of that 14 year old girl in 1907 when she is 31,

1938 next to her home in West Hollywood when she was 62,

and then again in 1953 when she was 77.

She was even older when I first remember her.

Girl and horse 1928
you are younger than I am, you are someone I never knew
you stand under a tree, your face half shadowed, holding the horse by its bridle
why do you smile, can't you see the apple blossoms falling around you
snow, sun, snow, listen the tree dries and is being burnt
the wind is bending your body, your face ripples like water
where did you go
but no you stand there exactly the same, you can't hear me
forty years ago you were caught by light and fixed in that secret place where we live
where we believe nothing can change, grow older
on the other side of the picture the instant is over
the shadow of the tree has moved
you wave then turn and ride out of sight through the vanished orchard
still smiling, as though you do not notice

Margaret Atwood
