Sara Teasdale At Fontainebleau



Sara Teasdale At Fontainebleau

Infant
she arrives in Etruscan autumn
bearing the gift of ghosts
sighing across centuries of sea.

Barren
she sees endless Fall
in halls bare of the dead boar
of Saint Louis.

Woman
she tastes victory
under the sign poetess
birthing breathing souls
on the blood red floor
of October foliage.

That is a great and worthy ode--and the fantastic electric 3D art is wondrous ! the technique reminds me of my creation of doing the SAME character or object with different lighting angles..then animated at a fast rate,which didn't look like it came OFF the page..it made the character look as if in depth (roundness etc)--I'm going to investigate Gaspariniville...all aboard !

thanks for this
great art !
