(1901)

"The Things We Dare Not Tell"

The fields are fair in autumn yet, and the sun's still shining there,
But we bow our heads and we brood and fret, because of the masks we wear;
Or we nod and smile the social while, and we say we're doing well,
But we break our hearts, oh, we break our hearts! for the things we must not tell.

There's the old love wronged ere the new was won, there's the light of long ago;
There's the cruel lie that we suffer for, and the public must not know.
So we go through life with a ghastly mask, and we're doing fairly well,
While they break our hearts, oh, they kill our hearts! do the things we must not tell.

We see but pride in a selfish breast, while a heart is breaking there;
Oh, the world would be such a kindly world if all men's hearts lay bare!
We live and share the living lie, we are doing very well,
While they eat our hearts as the years go by, do the things we dare not tell.

We bow us down to a dusty shrine, or a temple in the East,
Or we stand and drink to the world-old creed, with the coffins at the feast;
We fight it down, and we live it down, or we bear it bravely well,
But the best men die of a broken heart for the things they cannot tell.

Hello, Manuj -
Another fantastic candid portrait - his eyes are the center of gravity in this photo. The intensity of his gaze draws the viewer directly to the eyes. He has a very interesting appearance. Great range of b&w tones and very sharp throughout. Well done.

Dear Manuj
Hope you are doing well
These penetrating eyes seem dangerous! A great reflection on his eyes like 2 white spot,
The black and white mode show better his personality and his soul!
Thank you
Alireza

dear Manuj mehta,
when the man casts an upward glance at somebody,
he has lots of things not to tell other one,
maybe the man in this shot too.
and he knits his brows deeply, it is an expression of something anxious for him...
the air surrounding him looks severe and heavy,
you captured a moment of his anguish state really,
thank you for your excellent portrait shot,
Akihisa

Hi ManuJ,

Hello Manuj,
A striking gaze or stare your subject is giving us. I wonder what he is thinking. A good portrait with admireable contrast and tone. My best regards...
Danilo

Hi Manuj,
Great intensity in this portrait! I am always amazed by the diversity of the characters, you photography.
Tell me please, have you asked at this man to pose for you?
If not, his glance is not friendly and it even seems threatening. Are you afraid sometimes when you are lone in the streets with your camera?
I beg your pardon if I am too curious, but this is fascinating to imagine others photographers working in the so different conditions of mine.
The poem is a superb complement at this great photo!
Bravo and thanks!Annie

Bonjour Manuj.
Une nouvelle bonne image qui montre un beau portrait avec un regard bien mis en valeur.

Bonne journée.
