love's secret

 

Never seek to tell thy love,
Love that never told can be;
For the gentle wind doth move
Silently, invisibly.

I told my love, I told my love,
I told her all my heart,
Trembling, cold, in ghastly fears.
Ah! she did depart!

Soon after she was gone from me,
A traveller came by,
Silently, invisibly:
He took her with a sigh.

~William Blake

Powerful image -- excellent poem

[Richard]

Dark and Beautiful as always.... and Blakes words of the forlorn and remorseful broken hearted lover, whisper such grief... but is there no truth in the celebration of love?

Oh my goodness. What a stunning pairing of words and image. I have to ask you WHERE ON EARTH this image came from? It is the most gorgeous image I have seen in a long time.
