Samuel Beckett: writer, poet

Samuel Beckett, most known for his plays and prose, is however, also a poet..
 and in my opinion, a visual story teller of sorts. 


time she stopped
sitting at her window
quiet at her window
only window
facing other windows
all eyes
all sides
high and low
time she stopped

-Samuel Beckett, Rockaby 1980

This poem struck me as the image of a photographer, or Beckett seeing through a photographers eye.
Interesting blend of medium whether intended or not.
