Gray, cold and gray
Is the desolate wintry sky.
As the colorless daylight fades away
And the starless night draws nigh,
I sit in my darkened room
By the fire,‐it is burning low,
While fancy weaves in her pause less loom,
And swift and silent, amid the gloom.
Her shuttle glides to and fro.
Ellen P. Allerton, Shadows

A sentinel before death's iron gate,
In anxious vigils and uplifted prayer,
With weary partner of my life I wait
Seeking to stay while her entrance there;
I tread but softly as on holy ground
While unseen spirits seem to wait around.
Rev. Isaac K. Brownson, Shadows

When I am closed
Used up
You are stretched at your fullest width
Ready to give
I want to jump
Into you
And feel this life
As you do
Perhaps then
I could give as you do
Perhaps then
I could live as you do
Lebogang Mashile, Love is Elastic

When You Say Nothing At All, Foxes and Fossils

Black, Violet Orlandi

John, the titles of your, without exception, beautiful renders often don't reveal what you want to tell us. Most of the times this has to be deduced from your quotes. Even then several interpretations are possible. This intriguing render is no exception. Fortunately, the music links provide diversion in solving the puzzle, this time to me in particular the Pink Floyd cover.
Beautiful 'assembly' again!

Textures here are outstanding, so intricate, so incredibly realistic as if you snapped a photo of something that actually exists, details are amazing. Quotes are unique and music, wow, you truly are a talented individual.

Love the image and the accompanying words and links, especially the first poem and the first song.
I have come back to the mage several times and see something new each time

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

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
