Description From childhood's hour I have not been
As others were; I have not seen
As others saw; I could not bring
My passions from a common spring.
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow; I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone;
And all I loved, I loved alone.
Then- in my childhood, in the dawn
Of a most stormy life- was drawn
From every depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still:
From the torrent, or the fountain,
From the red cliff of the mountain,
From the sun that round me rolled
In its autumn tint of gold,
From the lightning in the sky
As it passed me flying by,
From the thunder and the storm,
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view.

[Edgar A. Poe's Alone (1830) ]

I'm still trying to survive without my camera hehehe. This image is based on stocks from [link]

Truly one of my favorite poems. Brilliant peice of art work. I love photography with children, they really seem to bring out the best in artist's work. The way the grass is makes you feel this is a calm after the storm. Beautiful tone.

thanks for your great comment. The poem is so 'me too', I guess should I have made the image 'me too', I should have used a dirty little boy tearing wings of flies

nareia In reply to raun [2004-03-30 19:05:14 +0000 UTC]

hehehe-- version 2, coming up....
i mean... err...
yah, nm *grin*
i like this version but you could make a great #2 with that idea. i happen to be jealous of it, actually. where you'd find a picture like that tho...
anyway, sorry the poem reflects parts of your life as well. i sort of figured, but it's still sad to hear. i suppose it's something a lot of people experience, but childhood should be something beautiful. you know? ~sigh~ ok. i'll shut up now.

sharkoftheday [2004-03-29 22:06:36 +0000 UTC]

I'm not sure how well the poem goes with the picture, "Alone" is more about how Poe receives sorrow from things that give others joy, how he loves that which others abhor, and how this tortures him. The picture seems to light.

thanks for your comment. The light was there [link] , I just enhanced it with colorbalance layers + some burn/dodging. The shadows on the ground is a multiplied layer of the tree (similar to burn>shadows). Thanks for the too
