abstract->surrealism
His soul stretched tight across the skies
That fade behind a city block,
Or trampled by insistent feet
At four and five and six o'clock;
And short square fingers stuffing pipes,
And evening newspapers, and eyes
Assured of certain certainties,
The conscience of a blackened street
Impatient to assume the world.
I am moved by fancies that are curled
Around these images, and cling:
The notion of some infinitely gentle
Infinitely suffering thing.
Wipe your hand across your mouth, and laugh;
The worlds revolve like ancient women
Gathering fuel in vacant lots.
PRELUDES IV ~T. S. ELIOT

“The sudden disappointment of a hope leaves a scar which the ultimate fulfillment of that hope never entirely removes.”
- Thomas Hardy
WOW! John. You are really good with a pencil. LOL. I like this scene. It looks like a view of the city from a park. Excellent work.

I feel like a homeless person sitting on a park bench gazing into the windows of warm building at noncaring people. Excellent creation Shads. Hope you are feeling good.

Hopefully my photos and stories will let you know what makes me Tick
These buildings, darkened by night and city smog. Yet the trees are there to filter and so are lights within the building and stars in the nightsky. What a magnificent creation you have here John! It brings out so many thoughts and feelings. And I love this line in the poem you so well quoted, " I am moved by fancies that are curled " How perfect that fits....And there are even places to sit and ponder. We see into, and out of and thru. An absolutely wonderful posting by you, the Master of this Art!! Verena

An interesting poem and a very dark and moody image. A great pairing. Well done.

A magnificent rendition to T.S. Eliot's prelude, John! Wow... I love the defined lines in the structures and the darkened sky with stars that enthrall the City! Faved.
