 Boys in a Pasture by Winslow Homer, 1874. Boys in a Pasture Here on the wall the bit of white in the green afternoon stops the summer from falling. The bit of white keeps the nail still interested in heights and invested in keeping gravity at bay. Such a small thing, a bit of white paint surprised on a painted boy’s shin. But even the sun slows a revolution to look, and the grasses stop in their consideration of the wind, the heat, the wind, though the two boys go on feeling the earth rolling them gently out of the frame.
