I walked around the block twice, passed 200 people and failed to see a human being.
Charles Bukowski, Tales of Ordinary Madness

Come away, O human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.
William Butler Yeats, The Collected Poems of W.B. Yeats

But as, in ethics, evil is a consequence of good, so, in fact, out of joy is sorrow born. Either the memory of past bliss is the anguish of today, or the agonies which are have their origin in the ecstasies which might have been.
Edgar Alan Poe, Berenice

When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.
Kahlil Gibran

I felt like crying but nothing came out. It was just a sort of sad sickness, sick sad, when you can't feel any worse. I think you know it. I think everybody knows it now and then. But I think I have known it pretty often, too often.
Charles Bukowski, Tales of Ordinary Madness

Bach Partita No.2 in D minor, Hilary Hahn

Johannes Brahms, in a letter to Clara Schumann, said about the ciaccona:
On one stave, for a small instrument, the man writes a whole world of the deepest thoughts and most powerful feelings. If I imagined that I could have created, even conceived the piece, I am quite certain that the excess of excitement and earth-shattering experience would have driven me out of my mind.

A well done abstract John. All those quotations show that without the negative there can be no positive.

This one proofs your artistry and versatility again, John.
It's a amazing to me how you've expressed in both render, quotes, and music link an emotional feeling: simply a visual, textual, and musical masterpiece.
S+F. Thanks for sharing! 👍

I really get the sense of emotion from your abstract. Yes, for everything there is a season including joy, sorrow and such.

Many times I can feel you bare your soul with your renders, words and music Strat. This is one of those times!
I believe you are a modern day philosopher.
Another complete masterpiece.

John, I hardly know how to comment on this image...like Tick, I too, have often wondered about and sensed the possibility of a personal outpouring of emotion and deep reflection in your renders and this is another one of those times...your color palette of the nightshade family is the perfect choice to express your title and accompanying passages...as does your design in its' sharp, piercing, even invasive elements...this is what true art should do...tug at our heart strings...and you have accomplished that in this image...well done, John...a fave for me.

Beautiful. I am never sure if Yeat's faeries were benign or bad - and I still don't know but I'm convinced that where they were leading the stolen child may have looked something like this.
Sorrow and grief have many layers - for me personally I see in this the layers of sorrow, anger and emotion many of us in NZ are experiencing in the aftermath of the terrorist tragedy. I see fractured lives and the spilling of blood - and in the distance the brightness of hope. The world does seem full of weeping sometimes.Thanks for this thought provoking work and the perfect accompanying music

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
