Artist's Comments

Gaily bedight,
A gallant knight,
In sunshine and in shadow,
Had journeyed long,
Singing a song,
In search of Eldorado.

But he grew old
This knight so bold
And o'er his heart a shadow
Fell as he found
No spot of ground
That looked like Eldorado.

And, as his strength
Failed him at length,
He met a pilgrim shadow
"Shadow," said he,
"Where can it be
This land of Eldorado?"

"Over the Mountains
Of the Moon,
Down the Valley of the Shadow,
Ride, boldly ride,"
The shade replied
"If you seek for Eldorado!"

Edgar Alan Poe

One of my favorite poems, of all time. I knew the poem,before I knew who Poe was. I took this picture, an it immediately reminded me of the poem, so I had to put them together. Thank you, and thanks for the :+fav:

i love the colors and the soft focus of the background.. but i wish the branch was closer so you could see more detail.
nice choice on the poem.

It isn't a branch, and I didn't want to show any detail, in fact I wanted it in silhouette, with just the drops showing.

And the poem... is perfect.

...fencing, early morning dew. You're not the only one up early on Saturday morning.

search? And just because I didn't have a place to be, doesnt mean I didnt have to be up. I felt I had to be up this morning, and that sunset gave me three distinct moments as proof.
