"What do you want to be when you grow up?"

"Kind."

"Gilbert, be kind."

Listen! I will speak of the sweetest dream, what came to me in the middle of the night, when speech-bearers slept in their rest.  It seemed that I saw a most wondrous tree raised on high, wound round with light, the brightest of beams.

-The Dream of the Rood (tr. Roy M. Liuzza)

Read this old poem for the first time a couple weeks ago and found it really neat. I love the rhythm in the Old English poems, and the interesting familiar Christian imagery (though with a smidge of the Woden in it as well?) It’s been a while since i did these kinds of black and white illustrations, so it was neat to do so again. The poem describes the crucifix as being gilded, but the tree-emphasis and animistic aspect of the poem of it made me what to emphasize the “living” feeling.
