Artist's Comments

Um... I've never been very good at the whole abstract thing... But my teacher said we had to choose a poem and a song to draw/paint whatever to... so yeah.
I based this (if you can even say that) on the The Second Coming by W.B. Yeats (My favorite poem!!)

:add: I added on some color. I think it fits a little better with the poem, plus my teacher gave me a little more time since we didn't have enough to go over them all in class. Oh yeah, and here's the poem-

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all convictions, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.



Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

Eyes like cracked eggshells empty as life
Her index fingers drip mothers milk
like hypodermic needles....
