two great lover joined in harmony. He speaks to her through mediation for they connect without words. She speaks to him through natural touch for that is how he prefers. She feels his strength when she lies in the grass, or in fall (autumn leaves). She holds the key to the beauty that surrounds us he the foundation we walk on. They rule both earth and sky. The color scheme is brillant, the comp is breathtaking. I would love a print of this. I could stare at it for hours.
Buon giorno!

Il y a dix ans,j'ai etudié les hiéroglyphes égyptiens et j'avais traduit Le livre des morts dans la version du papirus d'Ani déjà traduit un siècle plus tôt par Wallis Budge,j'ai alors passé de nombreuses nuits dans les bras de Nuit ,la grande déesse,l'océan du ciel.J'ai aussi lu Aleister Crowley notamment son Magick in theory and practice à la suite de quoi j'ai peint Magick qui est une sorte de talisman de force.Je me souviens l'avoir vendu le premier soir où il fut exposé au Grand Palais à Paris...
Hail to thee Nuit,Hail to thee Ama!...

24. I am Nuit, and my word is six and fifty.
25. Divide, add, multiply, and understand.
26. Then saith the prophet and slave of the beauteous one: Who am I, and what shall be the sign? So she answered him, bendingdown, a lambent flame of blue, all-touching, all penetrant, her lovely hands upon the black earth, & her lithe body arched for love, and her soft feet not hurting the little flowers: Thou knowest! And the sign shall be my ecstasy, the consciousness of the continuity of existence, the omnipresence of my body.
27. Then the priest answered & said unto the Queen of Space, kissing her lovely brows, and the dew of her light bathing his whole body in a sweet-smelling perfume of sweat: O Nuit, continuous one of Heaven, let it be ever thus; that men speak not of Thee as One but as None; and let them speak not of thee at all, since thou art continuous!
28. None, breathed the light, faint & faery, of the stars, and two.
29. For I am divided for love's sake, for the chance of union.
30. This is the creation of the world, that the pain of division is as nothing, and the joy of dissolution all.
....
All I can Utter.
