Rita van doren biography of william hill
Who intermarried.!
This might sound odd coming from a painter, but my first attraction to the sunset wasn’t based on its visual qualities — light, color, display. I was drawn to the sunset, and I still am, for its significance — its impact as the close of day.
Even when I was just out of high school and attempting an almost grown boy’s first novel, I set the opening at twilight, not because of how twilight appeared but because of how it felt.
The story of Santa Rita and of the founding of the University was written in a radio script by J. Edward Morrow, Oil Editor of the Dallas News.
It was a transition, or as I wrote then in obvious prose, “neither night nor day.” That in-between quality, the sense of passing from one state into another, of recognizing the importance as well as the irrelevance of time, remains a key to my interest in this subject.
Maybe this orientation explains why I don’t get as excited about spectacular sunsets as others might think.
I’m looking at something else. Of course I’m completely absorbed in thinking about the colors and the light and composition of the sky.
