The rain
‘Bells in the Rain’ – Elinor Morton Wylie
Sleep falls, with limpid drops of rain,
Upon the steep cliffs of the town.
Sleep falls; men are at peace again
While the small drops fall softly down.
The bright drops ring like bells of glass
Thinned by the wind, and lightly blown;
Sleep cannot fall on peaceful grass
So softly as it falls on stone.
Peace falls unheeded on the dead
Asleep; they have had deep peace to drink;
Upon a live man’s bloody head
It falls most tenderly, I think.
Digital work in Photoshop CS4.

‘Sleep cannot fall on peaceful grass
So softly as it falls on stone…
Upon a live man’s bloody head
It falls most tenderly, I think..’ Well – I hope so, for their sakes, I think….
Though I can feel the peace in this image Colleen – a beautiful work to go with powerful words by a wonderful poet :)))
Colleen Milburn replied
I admit, the ‘live man’s bloody head’ sold me on the poem! Thanks, sweetie.
It’s my first full digital work with the intention of creating something approaching realism.
