H-K230
And neither the angels in heaven above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee.
For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling, my darling, my life and my bride,
In the sepulcher there by the sea,
In her tomb by the sounding sea.
(Edgar Allan Poe)

how this speaks to me
I shall not count the ways
for there are too many.
My religious iconography fascination is a passion I hold close, despite my atheism ;)
Hauntingly peaceful
And might I add a desirable state.
Your use of light and shade is sublime. xx
hsien-ku replied
cara mia,
how do i love thee . . .
your atheism holds more sacred than the religion of many
and i am grateful for your light and shade on these pages

The light and dark are skillfully balanced
enhancing the sad beautiful figure leant against a column –wall
and the words – and is not that sometimes our dreams of love
the desire to blow breath into death
