Ode on Melancholy.

Mon Nov 19, 2007, 5:55 AM
No, no! go not to Lethe, neither twist
Wolf's-bane, tight-rooted, for its poisonous wine;
Nor suffer thy pale forehead to be kissed
By nightshade, ruby grape of Proserpine;
Make not your rosary of yew-berries,
Nor let the beetle nor the death-moth be
Your mournful Psyche, nor the downy owl
A partner in your sorrow's mysteries;
For shade to shade will come too drowsily,
And drown the wakeful anguish of the soul.

But when the melancholy fit shall fall
Sudden from heaven like a weeping cloud,
That fosters the droop-headed flowers all,
And hides the green hill in an April shroud;
Then glut thy sorrow on a morning rose,
Or on the rainbow of the salt sand-wave,
Or on the wealth of globed peonies;
Or if thy mistress some rich anger shows,
Emprison her soft hand, and let her rave,
And feed deep, deep upon her peerless eyes.

She dwells with Beauty -- Beauty that must die;
And Joy, whose hand is ever at his lips
Bidding adieu; and aching Pleasure nigh,
Turning to poison while the bee-mouth sips;
Ay, in the very temple of delight
Veiled Melancholy has her sovran shrine,
Though seen of none save him whose strenuous
tongue
Can burst Joy's grape against his palate fine;
His soul shall taste the sadness of her might,
And be among her cloudy trophies hung.

Hello Caroline,

I saw your work on [link] and was very impressed. I particularly enjoyed 'Girl over London Eye'.

We are an exciting New Media Company, and we're organising a huge Spring Event.

We are looking for quality contemporary artists to exhibit their work at the event and I would like you to participate.

All Artists must have original work, no copies or prints.

The event will be held in Central London.

If you have any queries, do not hesitate to contact me. I hope to hear from you soon.

Client Testimonial: ‘A professional company who are trying new things.’ - Azza


Kind regards,

Josh
