"`Prophet!' said I, `thing of evil! - prophet still, if bird or devil!
By that Heaven that bends above us - by that God we both adore - Tell this soul with sorrow laden if, within the distant Aidenn, It shall clasp a sainted maiden whom the angels named Lenore - Clasp a rare and radiant maiden, whom the angels named Lenore?' Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.' `Be that word our sign of parting, bird or fiend!' I shrieked upstarting - `Get thee back into the tempest and the Night's Plutonian shore! Leave no black plume as a token of that lie thy soul hath spoken! Leave my loneliness unbroken! - quit the bust above my door! Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!' Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.' And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door; And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming, And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor; And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor Shall be lifted - nevermore!" - The Raven, Edgar Allan Poe Read full poem here - [link] [If you haven't read this, I suggest you do so now. Edgar Allan Poe is one of my favourite writers ever. And no, I don't say that just to look "cool". His use of words fascinates me, he was truly the father of macabre.] This is for GoatofWsidom -- When I saw that she named a character after Edgar Allan Poe's poem, I couldn't help but resist and draw. This is probably one of my best colouring jobs. O_o Mediums: Prismacolour marker, prismacolour pencil, gel pen, some random inky pen for outline, and photoshop for background. AND THE END. |
