"so I wait for you like a lonely house
till you will see me again and live in me.
Till then my windows ache.”
till you will see me again and live in me.
Till then my windows ache.”
Pablo Neruda

My people will abide
in a peaceful habitation,
in secure dwellings,
and in quiet resting places

how good it is to have quiet resting places.
Lovely scroll work over that window. Great bible passage too.
What a lovely post, you have such a sweet and kind heart. Your old house was lovely with this verse :)
A beautiful post, Susan, and the detail in this architecture is amazing!
Have a great weekend!
the last line, until then my windows ache.. wow. i love it. and that house is beautiful, and so much detail to look at.. a lovely old lady
So happy to see this show up in my FB scroll. LOVED the Neruda words - thank you, Susan.
If only everyone had a peaceful dwelling place!
Gorgeous metaphor and wonderful word-pairings.
Oh, quite wonderful, Pablo Neruda's thoughts as well as the photo of the house. Wonderful wooden ornaments.

What a grand home. Thanks for another beautiful post.
Oh my goodness, I had never seen this scripture, I am writing it down right now! Love the house!
The poem and verse go so well with this picture! Now I want to see the rest of the house...
That Neruda poem is just delightful. His poems are always so sensual.
LOVELY!!
Love this post, Susan... the photo, the quote and the verse. There's something very reassuring about quiet resting places and the promise of secure dwellings.
Fantastic post. Love the design on that grand old home.
Thoughtful and beautiful ~ I too live in quietness.
Beautiful gingerbread on this house I would love to explore -- lovely post.
I love that roof line!
Happy Sunday!

beautiful words to go with your lovely image.
What a beautiful house. And such words to go with it my friend.. Hope you have a happy week.
Hugs~
A very beautiful and special house! And very lovely picture. And I love to read the words which go with your pictures. You have a beautiful soul!
Warm hugs from Kaya.
Isaiah's words are comforting while Neruda's leave my heart wrenching ...to think of house windows aching for company...
Beautiful photo!
Greetings, RW & SK
Lovely facade.

Beautiful trim work, artfull. I'd hate to have to paint it.
Ohhh how I love Pablo Neruda- and those words with this image say so much. Glad you are well provided for when you journey away from your own dwelling. Peace and light be with you Susan.
Charming and restful looking - with an invitation written across that window. I love the verses you find which compliment those photographs, or is it the other way around?:)
Beautiful detail on that house. The quote and verse complete your post perfectly!
sigh...thank you :)
So comforting! God bless you. I enjoy your posts so much.
Was glad that you said "Rochester", b/c when I first saw the photo I didn't recognize it in your area. Was gonna ask, so DID think it might be in R. Mentioned that to Dave when I saw it on FB, but NOW I KNOW!! Glad you enjoyed taking photos when there.
