Artist's Comments

Tears, idle tears, I know not what they mean,
Tears from the depth of some divine despair
Rise in the heart, and gather to the eyes,
In looking on the happy autumn-fields,
And thinking of the days that are no more.

Fresh as the first beam glittering on a sail,
That brings our friends up from the under-world,
Sad as the last which reddens over one
That sinks with all we love below the verge;
So sad, so fresh, the days that are no more.

Ah, sad and strange as in dark summer dawns
The earliest pipe of half-awakened birds
To dying ears, when unto dying eyes
The casement slowly grows a glimmering square;
So sad, so strange, the days that are no more.

Dear as remembered kisses after death,
And sweet as those by hopeless fancy feigned
On lips that are for others; deep as love,
Deep as first love, and wild with all regret;
O Death in Life, the days that are no more!

-"Tears, Idle Tears" by Lord Tennyson.


*shrug* I dunno. I just took 2 pics, one with my eyes open, one with them closed, and then overlapped and erased and played with filters and colours and brushes.

Brushes: aleksandra scully7491 and [link].

Very sweet image, it doesn't seem at all sexual either.

The picture wasn't meant to look sexual.. It was meant to look desperate... As if like the person *if you excuse the fact that the picture is of me* has had such bad luck with love that she's just resorting to loving herself, but the other half of her, her innerself just knows that it's wrong, but feels trapped behind the mirror and can't help what's going on in the picture.

Something like that. Perhaps I should have mentioned that.

hehe, Thanks. It took me a while to get a good angle with the mirror, and I had to take 2 pictures at a time so that I could have them in the same place.
