Tim,

There is presently a Remington exhibit, "The color of night" at Gilcrease. which runs through Nov. 9th.

Anyone coming near Tulsa should visit the very respectable Gilcrease Museum. And Philbrook ain't too shabby either.

It just occured to me that the villian in this (excerpt) poem "The Highwayman" by Alfred Noyes, my favorite poem, is named Tim!

***

The wind was a torrent of darkness among the gusty trees,
The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas,
The road was a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor,
And the highwayman came riding-
Riding - riding-
The highwayman came riding, up to the old inn-door.

"One kiss, my bonny sweetheart; I'm after a prize tonight,
But I shall be back with the yellow gold before the morning light;
Yet, if they press me sharply, and harry me through the day,
Then look for me by moonlight,
Watch for me by moonlight,
I'll come to thee by moonlight, though **** should bar the way."



Frederic Remington - 1907 part of "The Color of Night" exhibit.
