"Beyond the ferry water that fast and silent flowed,
She turned, she gazed a moment, then took her onward road.
Between the winding willows to a city white with spires:
It seemed a path of pilgrims to the home of earth's desires.
Blue shade of golden branches spread for her journeying,
Till he that lingered lost her among the leaves of Spring."
ah, that's great, dear Alison! love the movement and all the patterns!
ReplyDeleteHello Daria, I'm glad you enjoyed it and thanks
ReplyDeleteLovely! the patterns and the colours are beautiful ... and the poem reminds me of 'The Lady of Shallot' so much - a poem I have always loved cos it's so visual, Do you think it's based on that?
ReplyDeleteReading it again, you never know maybe Laurence Binyon was influenced by the poem, as there are similarities.
ReplyDeleteThe 'The Lady of Shallot' looks like a great source for illustration inspiration
