On DHS’s unauthorized use of Norman Rockwell’s paintings across social media, an op-ed from our family today in @usatoday.com www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

We're Norman Rockwell's family. Trump's DHS has shamefully misused his work. | Opinion

As Norman Rockwell's family, we know he'd be devastated to see the Department of Homeland Security's unauthorized misuse of his work.

‘To Murch, who has won three Academy Awards and been nominated for six more, film editing is a sensual “full-body” experience: “a kind of dance, a choreography of images and sounds in the flow of time, forged in movement, eventually crystallising into permanence”.’

Text of poem -

Autumn.
Happy the leaves burnishing their own downfall. Life dances upon life's grave.
It is we who inject
sadness into the migrant's cry. We are so long in dying - time granted to discover a purpose in our decay? Could we be cut open, would there be more than the saw's wound, all humanity's rings widening only towards ageing?
To creep in for shelter under the bone's tree is to be charred by time's lightning stroke. The leaves fall variously as do thoughts to reveal the bareness of the mind's landscape
through which we must press on towards the openness of its horizons.

The pain has dulled now, to a long, lingering ache. One observes it clinically at first, but in so doing it transmutes into some submerged longing, one that plumbs the depths of one's entire life and comes up bearing the poet's late fragment—"and did you get what you wanted from this life, even so?"

In the evening the pain returned and one observed as it gathered itself from afar and swelled and rose until it swept and overwhelmed without seemingly cresting. Later, still observing, one began to admire the purity of it, the sheer strength of it, and the presence of something very much like will.
