While alluring and mysterious figures, sirens are also plagued by melancholy. The string of pearls flowing out of the shell allegedly are formed by the tears of dead sailors.

The Art of Imitation

If only every word I chose was as hefty and vivid

as a line from Tennyson, then I could rule the world,

scale towering peaks, sail into some uncertain future,

but until then I must settle for watered-down Collins

and resort to simple observations about my writing

desk, what the flowers are doing outside my window,

and how they are not really flowers but my thoughts

fluttering away on a breeze like so many syllables of

laughter from children who age quicker than fashion.

Newest single "Tapestry" is coming out this Friday 5/8, featuring @mikaeladavis on harp ✨Do YOU feel like you're stuck in a isolated tower for what seems like forever? 🏰Then this is probably going to resonate in some way with you 😅Pre-save link is in bio, which also leads to the poem this song was inspired by: "The Lady of Shalott" by Alfred Lord Tennyson.

🐚 🐚🐚🐚 🌊 It is said that the inspiration for this painting is, in part, attributed to Alfred Lord Tennyson’s “The Mermaid”, written in 1893.

“Who would be

A mermaid fair,

Singing alone,

Combing her hair

Under the sea,

In a golden curl

With a comb of pearl,

On a throne?”

Alfred Lord Tennyson (1893) “The Mermaid”

Nothing Will Die

"Nothing was born; Nothing will die; All things will change." --Alfred Lord Tennyson's birthday today in 1809

Isn’t She Lovely? On either side the river lie. Long fields of barley and of rye. The Lady of Shallot, a recent purchase at my local United Church Sale. I saw her on the first day and thought the painting too big so I decided not to buy her. Then, the following day I returned hoping that maybe she still would be there but remembering her placed on the inside of the church pews she was no longer there and thought her gone only to look over at the church alter and there she was. 🍀lucky☘️ @Ghostales1957 #ladyofshalott #alfredlordtennyson #poetry #poem #preraphaelite #painters #1832 #donnadiscalotta #elaineofastalot #johnwilliamwaterhouse #english #romantic #painting #witchesofinstagram #art #beautiful #beautifulwomen #lilyofthevalley #found #church #literature #england #medieval #story #tale #camelot #colorfulweb #mirror #world #mysterious (at Ottawa, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/BySYh6PH5wZ/?igshid=r0uzb5fnpomn

#Repost @_shada_m ・・・ Below the thunders of the upper deep, Far far beneath in the absymal sea, His ancient, dreamless, uninvaded sleep The Kraken sleepeth:faintest sunlight flee About his shadowy sides ;above him swell Huge sponges of millennial growth & height ; And far away into the sicky light, From many a wondrous grot & secret cell Unnumbered and enormous polypi Winnow with giant arms the slumbering green. There hath he lain for ages, and will lie Battening upon huge sea worms in his sleep, Until the later fire shall heat the deep ; Then once by man & angels to be seen, In roarin he shall rise & on the surface die. _The Kraken by Alfred Lord Tennyson_ . .

Tennyson's Idylls were a gift from my dad all the way back in 2001. I think they slept on my shelf until college years, where I read them as a salve against the literary drudgery of lesser authors. It was, in fact, the Idylls that inspired me write poetry. #tennyson #poetry #alfredlordtennyson #idyllsoftheking #mortearthur #epicpoetry #epicpoem #epicpoems #kingarthur #arthurianpoem #arthurianliterature (at Nashville, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu_ihjBALVT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=15yxte9ssazo0
