I Am A Spirit of the Rose You Wore To the Dance

hey beautiful spirits👰

it's almost almost christmas and i have started to decorate my tiny flat:))) some bows and a wreath with my dried flowers... the tree is up but only a fraction of the glitter and such is in it as of yet. i think i will have it done by tomorrow.

how are you doing with it all?

my aunt with hans is coming to visit me so i am to be a host:)

i woke up with a fever saturday morning so my weekend did not start out that great...this was a day i was supposed to have my roots done...to feel a little bit more beautiful when i look in the mirror. life happens.

claudio coello

from a book i am so grateful to own

nature and its symbols

my art teacher jason rose copied & enlarged the above angel image which i then did an image transfer with on a painted with acrylics paper. then photographed it and in photoshop she went:)

i am a spirit of a rose you wore to the dance

very inspired by the poem, le spectre de la rose ( the ghost of the rose)

by théophile gautier,

which was the inspiration for

this

short

ballet

open your eyelids now closed

that brush on a maidens dream;

i am the ghost of a rose

that you wore at the ball last night.

you plucked me still silvered with pearls

sprinkled like tears from the hose,

and throughout the glittering scene

paraded all night was i seen.

o you who caused my death

unable to chase it away

throughout the night, my ghost of a rose

will come to dance by your bed.

but have no fear, i shall claim

no mass nor de profundis;

this faint perfume is my soul

and from parardise do i come.

my destiny may serve for envy;

for no better death could one have

than thus to have given ones life.

for, i have your breast as my tomb

and there one the headstone where i respose

a poet has left me a kiss

and written: "here lies a rose

of which, kings are inclined to be jealous".

- le spectre le la rose

i am a spirit of a rose you wore to the dance
