all dead, all dead

November 5, 2008 Elaine-


Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,

Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,

Silence the pianos and with muffled drum

Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.

For my poor plastic black flowers are dead.

The stars are not wanted now; put out every one,

Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun,

Pour away the ocean and sweep up the woods;

For nothing now can ever come to any good.

just kidding.

stolen and butchered from — W.H. Auden

    Are those splurting flowers that spray water on your guests when they walk down the path to your house? The vignette looks great! Cool.

    You are sooooo not dead!!Love the toning of blue and old rust.Looking at this, I have the feeling you already know what you need to know about textures but I can always tell you some tricks that could help 😉

    The toning is just perfect for this, Elaine. I think the music would be a funeral dirge!

    How cool. The film theorist in me’s tempted to go way overboard on this one, so I’ll keep quiet and content myself with: just fabulous. As usual 😉

    It’s fine art! I don’t what these “flowers” are, no problemo, not important. The image has many interpretations.
