I’ve spent today in the graveyard on Flickr.

This cyanotype of a medium format photo I took in Edisto, SC, reminds me of Zelda Fitzgerald’s beautiful letter to Scott about a day she spent in a graveyard
“I’VE SPENT TODAY IN THE GRAVEYARD. IT REALLY ISN’T A CEMETERY, YOU KNOW, — TRYING TO UNLOCK A RUSTY IRON VAULT BUILT IN THE SIDE OF THE HILL. IT’S ALL WASHED AND COVERED WITH WEEPY, WATERY BLUE FLOWERS THAT MIGHT HAVE GROWN FROM DEAD EYES — STICKY TO TOUCH WITH A SICKENING ODOR — THE BOYS WANTED TO GET IN TO TEST MY NERVE — TONIGHT — I WANTED TO FEEL “WILLIAM WREFORD, 1864.” WHY SHOULD GRAVES MAKE PEOPLE FEEL IN VAIN? I’VE HEARD THAT SO MUCH, AND GREY IS SO CONVINCING, BUT SOMEHOW I CAN’T FIND ANYTHING HOPELESS IN HAVING LIVED — ALL THE BROKEN COLUMNS AND CLASPED HANDS AND DOVES AND ANGELS MEAN ROMANCES — AND IN A HUNDRED YEARS I THINK I SHALL LIKE HAVING YOUNG PEOPLE SPECULATE ON WHETHER MY EYES WERE BROWN OR BLUE — OF COURSE, THEY ARE NEITHER — I HOPE MY GRAVE HAS AN AIR OF MANY, MANY YEARS AGO ABOUT IT — ISN’T IT FUNNY HOW, OUT OF A ROW OF CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS, TWO OR THREE WILL MAKE YOU THINK OF DEAD LOVERS AND DEAD LOVES — WHEN THEY’RE EXACTLY LIKE THE OTHERS, EVEN TO THE YELLOWISH MOSS? OLD DEATH IS SO BEAUTIFUL — SO VERY BEAUTIFUL — WE WILL DIE TOGETHER — I KNOW —” — ZELDA TO SCOTT, 1919. SCOTT TOOK THIS ROMANTIC DESCRIPTION OF A GRAVEYARD AND USED IT NEARLY VERBATIM AS THE THOUGHTS OF AMORY BLAINE IN “THIS SIDE OF PARADISE”.
