WHERE I BEGIN

by Sarah Abbott ‧ RELEASE DATE: Aug. 17, 1970

Leaves from a family album, sepia tinted and gravely shadowed, bespeaking a time past, surely, but a past--father with pony and sailboat and under a chestnut tree in Paris; mother at the rail of an ocean liner--in the mode of F. Scott Fitzgerald. And how relate to the little-girl narrator's ""This is my grandfather and grandmother. . . when they were very old""? The past tense would be more appropriate for her great-grandparents while the pictures--grandfather in a high collar, grandmother drawn after Whistler--push them back at least another generation. Tender and tremulous--and infirm.
