Yearning Spirit In Desire

Sophie Shapiro

Yearning Spirit In Desire

Souls that have toil’d and wrought, and thought with me-
That ever with a frolic welcome took
The thunder and the sunshine, and opposed
Free hearts, free foreheads
-you and I are old;
Old age hath yet his honour and his toil;
Death closes all; but something ere the end,
Some work of noble note, may yet be done,
Not unbecoming men that strove with Gods.
The lights begin to twinkle from the rocks:
The long day wanes: the slow moon climbs: the deep
Moans round with many voices. Come, my friends,
‘Tis not too late to seek a newer world….......

    So much to be seen in this – the longer I look the more there is – and very powerful accompanying words from Tennyson :)))

    Would this be the painting born from a previous comment of mine? It’s a very powerful image, made even more so after reading Tennyson’s words. I suspect this could look quite monumental on a large scale – a contemporary Michaelangelo!
    Will be in touch soon xx

    Such a dynamic and powerful work of art Sophie….incredible depth, just pulls the viewer in to be completely absorbed by this one….. absorbed, carressed, and enveloped – Perfect interpretation and so aptly titled….Bravo my sweet friend! XX JD
