There’s a quiet magic in the poem “every glance at you, a picture. in my mind, a house, of picture frames” by Say Still—the kind that echoes through sentimental scenes of 80s and 90s American films. Think When Harry Met Sally, Dead Poets Society, or The Bridges of Madison County—moments where love isn’t loud, but deeply felt. This poem, printed on a delicate postcard available here, captures that same cinematic tenderness.
It calls to mind W. H. Auden’s As I Walked Out One Evening, where time and love are measured in metaphors and memory. Auden wrote, “I'll love you, dear, I'll love you / Till China and Africa meet,”—a line that, like Say Still’s, turns affection into architecture, geography, eternity.
This keepsake card is more than a greeting—it’s a frame for feeling. Whether gifted as an anniversary card, tucked into a book, or displayed as an art print, it holds space for the kind of love that builds homes in our minds.
It’s no wonder this piece would feel right at home in a shop like Paper Plant Co. in Los Angeles, where Japanese stationery, poetic design, and thoughtful objects converge. Say Still’s work belongs among the curated shelves of greeting cards and tactile treasures that invite reflection.
