Nightingale

    Newer Older

    Thou wast not born for death, immortal Bird!
    No hungry generations tread thee down;
    The voice I hear this passing night was heard
    In ancient days by emperor and clown:
    Perhaps the self-same song that found a path
    Through the sad heart of Ruth, when, sick for home,
    She stood in tears amid the alien corn;
    The same that oft-times hath
    Charm’d magic casements, opening on the foam
    Of perilous seas, in faery lands forlorn.
    -John Keats

      I have seen your artwork posted here. I liked it. On my websites, I write articles about pencil drawings done by friends. Here are two of my review articles, I hope, you would like to look at.
