Bob Dylan, Sara..

"We were married a long time, and nobody in my family, I think, has ever been divorced, so it was a bit of a shock at first. I mean, I don’t think that it really has anything to do with feelings. I still love her and I suspect that she still loves me. We just aren’t married anymore."

[@moonrain85]

The lyrics from this and Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands to me epitomized the ultimate feminine being, he completely grabbed the essence of her and let everyone see her through his description. Exotic, mysterious, stunning, gentle, sturdy. The fact she has denied the limelight after all these years makes me love her even more.

I laid on a dune, I looked at the sky When the children were babies and played on the beach. You came up behind me, I saw you go by You were always so close and still within reach. Sara, Sara Whatever made you want to change your mind? Sara, Sara So easy to look at, so hard to define. I can still see them playin' with their pails in the sand They run to the water their buckets to fill. I can still see the shells fallin' out of their hands As they follow each other back up the hill. Sara, Sara Sweet virgin angel, sweet love of my life Sara, Sara Radiant jewel, a mystical wife. Sleepin' in the woods by a fire in the night Drinkin' white rum in a Portugal bar Them playin' leapfrog and hearin' about Snow White You in the marketplace in Savanna-la-Mar. Sara, Sara It's all so clear, I could never forget Sara, Sara Lovin' you is the one thing I'll never regret. I can still hear the sounds of those Methodist bells I'd taken the cure and had just gotten through Stayin' up for days in the Chelsea Hotel Writin' "Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands" for you. Sara, Sara Wherever we travel we're never apart. Sara, oh Sara Beautiful lady, so dear to my heart. How did I meet you? I don't know. A messenger sent me in a tropical storm. You were there in the winter, moonlight on the snow And on Lily Pond Lane when the weather was warm. Sara, oh Sara Scorpio Sphinx in a calico dress Sara, Sara Ya must forgive me my unworthiness. Now the beach is deserted except for some kelp And a piece of an old ship that lies on the shore. You always responded when I needed your help You gave me a map and a key to your door. Sara, oh Sara Glamorous nymph with an arrow and bow Sara, oh Sara Don't ever leave me, don't ever go.

Bob's true love was Sara,their divorce really broke him. The tragedy in Bob's romantic life is that he connected with Joan on a musical,artistic level but didnt love her. With Sara it was the opposite,he was in love with her but didnt connect,bond with her on an artistic level.Sara wasnt an artist. Bob said that when he started taking painting classes in NY he couldnt share it with her,it didn't interest her,its not like they talked about it for hours,she wasnt nourishing him on his artistic life,not much reciprocation, feedback.

Beautiful tapestry of Bob his beautiful wife and family

[@42awww]

Reading the comments and everyone is saying evil things about Dylan. I didn't know that among all the firsts he did he was the first husband to ever get divorced. They had 10 years together, Bob took care of her child, and it's a personal story that Dylan the artist has the ability to express many sentiments to us with. We don't know what happened, we know what the gossip rags were saying. The biggest, most influential rock artist ever had many temptations, and likely fell for one. It's all hard, people make different choices.

[@thebacons5943]

Well said. We’re lucky Dylan has chosen to share so much of himself with the world.

[@rossosbornfamilyfoundation3536]

Ten years doesn't see like a long time for a marriage to me, especially a marriage that involved five small children. I think Robert A Zimmerman wanted a nurturing, devout, Jewish woman to have his/their children and to be there for them and to raise them in a Jewish tradition. Sara was perfect in that role.

[@rossosbornfamilyfoundation3536]

Sara probably has artistic creativity on several levels. However, when a woman has 5 children in a short period of time, even with housekeepers and nannies, there is not much time for painting classes in NYC. She was probably busy painting with her small children, but Bob never understood her. Bob was right from his side (Norman Raeban, non linear painting lessons in NYC) and Sara was right from hers (Faridi McFree art lesson to Dylan's children) and It was just one too many mornings and a thousand miles behind. Most married women don't understand their husbands when they have affairs with the nanny. On some level, he probably loved most of the women in his life, broke up with them, wrote songs, and moved on. Agree with you that he is probably lonely for the things he couldn't have. Suze, Joan, Sara and others all at the same time. I like most of his music, but he seems pathetic when he switches from wisdom to victim. @@latitudeselongitudes1932

[@MortimerSnerdVideos]

@@latitudeselongitudes1932Bob even said in his book “my wife when she married me had no idea what she was getting into” what he meant by that was Sara was with him back then through thick and thin which was nice but it just wasn’t the kind of life she had envisioned for herself anymore than the kind he was living and had envisioned for his. They say the career and the personal life always go in different directions and in the case of Bob and Sara that seemed to be the case. Bob loved Sara with his heart but you know Bob was gone a lot when his kids were growing up and they sometimes would be with him and sometimes not and plus Bob was known for having affairs which also didn’t help things for Sara and that’s when it got to be too much. But like his son Jakob said “husband and wife failed but mother and father did not.” Bob and Sara have remained friends and even the picture of Bob taken in Jerusalem used for the single release of Jokerman and the inner sleeve of Infidels was taken by Sara

[@latitudeselongitudes1932]

He wasnt sexually faithful to her,several times,she had enough

[@rossosbornfamilyfoundation3536]

Many women never wonder what happened between them--we know from experience. Most married women can forgive a few infidelities, but after years of such bad behavior they stop believing the lies, especially if it is accompanied with drugs and booze. Statements from Bob such as "she never understood me because I took painting lessons in NYC, etc, etc" and "I never knew how to be a good husband" (both appear in his book) makes him seem so shallow. Robert Zimmerman aka Bob Dylan had several wonderful men in his life who showed him how to be a good husband: his father, several uncles, grandfathers, brother David, cousins, men in the church and community, teachers, to mention a few. Because he could write good lyrics and perform them in special ways, he thought that the rules of marriage didn't apply to him. He made the choice to be a 'bigger than Elvis', rather than to be a good husband. He knows/knew the truth--he doesn't think that it applies to him. So he buys companionship, just like he buys good musicians and backing bands. The story is an ancient--again made fresh.

[@GlindaQuadling]

This song is a great, great, heartbreaking, poetic creation. And every word of it is probably 100% sincere and heartfelt . . . but that is only part of the story. Because it was also true that this guy was a world-class womanizer who while married to the mother of his four children, was hitting on everything that moved and his wife was well aware of it for years before she finally had enough. Sara Dylan came downstairs in their house once and found one of his one-night stands at the breakfast table with their children present. While trying to decide whether to divorce, they hired a shrink to help the kids process what was going on . . . and he f****d the shrink. That is what it was like.

[@owenwilberforce6138]

Glinda Quadling - I totally agree. The power he had he used it selfishly. There is no defending his behavior. The question is, do you separate the behavior from the art? Those not directly hurt by the behavior rationalize it. Those that suffer because of only know the pain, and his great songs take a back seat. We only can see from our point of view, which ultimately marvels that absolute power is what great people achieve and how they use it is another marvel completely.

Viniste por detrás de mí... te vi... PASO ( sigue de largo , por favor) Tú siempre estuviste así de cerca ... y todavía , al alcance. Sara...Sara Cualquier cosa te hace querer cambiar de opinión. Sara...Sara Tan fácil de mirar...Tan difícil de explicar. Todavía los puedo ver con sus cubos jugando en la arena. Corren al agua para llenar sus baldes. Aún puedo ver las conchas cayendo de sus manos mientras se siguen unos a otros, de vuelta a la colina. ESTROFAS PARA JOAN ----------------- Sara...Sara Dulce ángel virginal ...Dulce amor de mi vida Sara ...Sara Radiante joya ...Esposa mística Durmiendo en el bosque junto al fuego, de noche, donde luchaste por mi alma...y estallaste contra viento y marea. Yo era muy joven para saber que lo estabas haciendo bien ...y lo hiciste con la fuerza que pertenecía a los dioses. Sara...Sara ...donde quiera que nos marchemos nunca estamos separados. Sara...Sara Hermosa dama , tan amada par mi corazón. Aún puedo oir los sonidos de aquellas campanas METODISTAS. Me había desintoxicado ( DE TI) y había simplemente sobrevivido, despierto durante días en el Hotel Chelsea escribiendo "Dama De La Mirada Triste De Las Tierras Bajas"...para ti. Sara...Sara ¡Todo está tan claro! ...Nunca pude olvidar. Sara...Sara Amarte es la única cosa de la que jamás me arrepentiré. ESTROFAS PARA SARA -------------------- Ahora la playa está desierta...salvo algunas algas ...y un trozo de barco viejo que yace sobre la orilla. ESTROFAS PARA JOAN ----------------- Tú siempre respondiste cuando necesité tu ayuda. "Dame un mapa y una llave para tu puerta" Sara...Sara Ninfa glamurosa con una flecha y un arco (JUANA DE ARCO ...Joan) Sara..Sara Nunca me dejes ... No te vayas

Why bring Joan into it..that was years ago? Why not mention Suze, Susan, Carolyn plus the rest too? Dylan’s true love is Dylan. Bob is also partially responsible for the demise of Edie Sedgwick too. She was genuinely in love with him, and he strung her along, said they would make a film together in Hollywood, Edie even introduced Bob to Andy, which was the end of her friendship with Andy..only to have Dylan call her to say, oh, by the way, I just got married. Edie didn’t get over that betrayal, the realising that he had been lying to her the whole time about everything, just stringing her along...so with the Dylan affair and any prospect of a future serious film career kyboshed, and having been pretty much ghosted by Andy, she just returned to California to die really, and she did.
