Rievaulx Abbey

The other day we were in Provincetown, Cape Cod, Massachusetts, which has become a mecca for artists, much like Martha's Vineyard.

There was a painting there that reminded me of Rievaulx Abbey: the proprietor did not know the background to that particular painting. Perhaps the painter had been to Yorkshire; perhaps he/she had seen a photograph.

But it brought back many sweet memories.

There was a time when I could discuss the various religious sects and the many abbeys in Yorkshire, but I have forgotten much. Memory fades. I was going to post a YouTube video of "Faded Love," but the love did not fade. Memories fade, but the love did not fade.

So, maybe something else:
Sea of Heartbreak, Don Gibson
This was a huge hit but the tempo and the light-hearted back-up singers don't fit the lyrics.
