QUOTH THE RAVEN QUEST #46 POEtry - MIDWAY REMINDER

Hi there,

Here I am with my DT for the Midway reminder over at QUOTH THE RAVEN QUEST #46 - POEtry.

The idea is to illustrate one of the poems of EDGAR ALLAN POE and I have chosen to do............................................

 "TO THE RIVER"

Fair river ! In thy bright, clear flow

Of crystal, wandering water;

Thou art an emblem of the glow

Of beauty - the unhidden heart -

The playful maziness of art

In old Alberto's daughter;

But when within thy wave she looks -

Which glistens then, and trembles -

Why, then, the prettiest of brooks

Her worshipper resembles.

For in his heart, as in thy stream,

Her image deeply lies,

His heart which trembles at the beam

of her soul-searching eyes.

                                                 

                                                                                                                 1829

I have used my Freebie Raven backing paper and Annabel Lee 2, both available at IKEsART, and a POE image from 'But I Digress', set upon a b/w photo of a river. My Annabel Lee was coloured with Promarkers and then scanned back into the computer.This piece was then constructed digitally within PSE 9.

I hope you will come over and play along with us at QUOTH THE RAVEN.

The collection of POE's poems and works can be found HERE.

Thank you for dropping by.
