Susan Loy of Literary Calligraphy in Moneta, VA, joins text from literary classics or Biblical passages with delicate watercolor images and creates a unique bond between fine art and literature.

The Literary Calligraphy 2004 Calendar features 12 of Susan's colorful watercolors with the theme of literary leaves. You'll also enjoy the entertaining quotes about leaves interspersed throughout the calendar grid in half-tones. Many are from Thoreau's journal, always a wonderful source of daily nature observations. We've also included texts from the journals of Ralph Waldo Emerson, Walt Whitman, and Dorothy and William Wordsworth as well as from the poetry of Emily Dickinson, Robert Frost, Gerard Manley Hopkins, John Keats, and Williams Shakespeare and Wordsworth.

This calendar features a full-page image on the top, with a full-page month grid below (including past and future month) providing a perfect combination of beauty and utility. The 12" x 12" format opens to 12" x 24" - large enough to display intricate detail and allow ample room for writing in important dates. [Printed in Bedford County, Virginia, USA].

Leaves represent the eternal round of life. They form to feed the entire plant through photosynthesis, and in the process give us oxygen. Later when the leaves fall, they decay until taken back into the plant as food, and the round goes on. Leaves may be our most valuable resource; they manufacture food for plants, which in turn nourish and sustain us. They also give cooling shade and amazing beauty and provide us with a sound, a gentle whisper or soft rustling sound that Thoreau noted in his journal on July 20, "The gentle susurrus from the leaves of the trees on shore is very enlivening." In the year to come, may you be enlivened by the susurrus from the leaves.
