The Birth of Venus, Sandro Botticelli

Aphrodite, WikiPedia

She has not yet been born:
she is music and word,
and therefore the untorn,
fabric of what is stirred.

Silent the ocean breathes.
Madly day's glitter roams.
Spray of pale lilac foams,
in a bowl of grey‐blue leaves.

May my lips rehearse
the primordial silence,
like a note of crystal clearness,
sounding, pure from birth!

Stay as foam Aphrodite ‐ Art ‐
and return, Word, where music begins:
and, fused with life's origins,
be ashamed heart, of heart!
Osip Emilevich Mandelstam, Silentium

F. Chopin : Nocturne in c sharp minor for violin and piano, YuEun Kim ‐ Violin

Titanic ‐ My Heart Will Go On, Katherine Cordova

Scarborough Fair, Anna Comellas and Rosalind Beall as Duo Rosanna

John, there are several 'stories' of Aphrodite's birth in Greek mythology or what may be counted as such. According to Homer, she was a daughter of Zeus and Dione, a titanid or oceanid.
To me a difficult item or subject to visualize. Your 'approach' is an original and very good one.
Well done again.

If you think you can't accept something, try to change it. But if this doesn't work, don't be frustrated, but give it later another try. The one who perseveres wins! Please CLICK HERE to see my journal! Feel free to save my images or to add them to your favorites.

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
