Raymond Chandler Quotes

A good story cannot be devised; it has to be distilled.

There is no trap so deadly as the trap you set for yourself.

Raymond Chandler (1888-1959) was an American-British novelist and screenwriter.  In 1932 at the age of 44, he was laid off from his business executive position because of the Great Depression’s economic downturn.  This opened a door for his next career move as he pursued writing detective fiction novels.

Gentle Morning

Gentle morning wakens

Far horizon brightens

Life stirring, yet hidden

Tiny shadow lightens

 

Leafless sentinels poised

Dignified, yet quiet

Nature’s hungriness growls

Winter’s empty diet

 

Eager deer stands alone

Daylight now discovers

Prince silently feeding

Thicket grants him cover

 

Dawn’s light show on display

Warm colors welcome day

Like geese flying above

Dark clouds flutter away

 

Lone blue heron overhead

Harmony dropping in

Landing on calm waters

Gentle morning’s check-in
