:iconverdant:
The sin was mine; I did not understand.
So now is music prisoned in her cave,
Save where some ebbing desultory wave
Frets with its restless whirls this meagre strand.
And in the withered hollow of this land
Hath Summer dug herself so deep a grave,
That hardly can the leaden willow crave
One silver blossom from keen Winter’s hand.
But who is this that cometh by the shore?
(Nay, love, look up and wonder!) Who is this
Who cometh in dyed garments from the South?
It is thy new-found Lord, and he shall kiss
The yet unravished roses of thy mouth,
And I shall weep and worship, as before.


Oscar Wilde

This picture is mind blowing!! I have no other words except that my mind almost can't handle how gorgeous this is. Did you use a model or just free draw this character.

I very seldom say "Wow!" but now I do.
Absolutely first-class, great combination of picture and poem.
At an English public school this would bring an "A" level, I suppose. Thank you very much for sharing this with me.

It comes from a collection of his poetry. I'm sure it's available on the net, you just have to google for it :).

Excellent! I especially like the lonely and pensive feelings that it evokes. In a way it reminds me of some angel fallen wondering on earth - is that in the background the suggestion of wings that are dissolving? I also like the fact that the colors are not harsh and without much contrast, it adds to the feeling of the picture. The poem is also a nice touch to explain to the viewer some of the meaning of the picture to the artist. This is a favorite of mine :)

Yes, you got the background right! I'm very happy when people take times to "read" a painting and get it right, to me it feels like all my hardworks that I poured into the art has been worthwhile. Thank you for such a sweet comment :heart:.
