A magic moment of peaceful brilliance

"...for peace comes dropping slow..."

The grace of Yeats' poetry bristles and glows with the Irish landscape in this Irish short film by Lisa Vandegrift Davala.

The fleeting power and beauty of light in motion beckons us to grasp that which we may never achieve. We are enraptured and left satisfied with a fleeting, magic moment of peaceful brilliance, and the equally hollow regret of its loss.

A beautiful portrayal of the preciousness of our earthly resources: the poetry of light, land, sea, and language in all forms; and a celebration of the flow of human life: youth, innocence, freedom, joy, peace, despair, death, renewal.

Beautiful. Brilliant. Bravo!
