Congratulations Steph! Good job.
I'm in love with The Vinegar Man and Mr. Tanner, but be careful, it could just as easily be you.

Well done Symphony! Certainly deserving of a win. I especially liked the passage Virg. excerpted in his comments and these lines too, in which you describe a kind of metamorphosis from paper to life:
Looking forward to the next picture. And yes, paintings definitely qualify as pictures too.And it was then that I
Felt her existence,
Not in the yellowed parchments,
But in the golden sun
And in the golden sand…
Edit: Oh, I see Virg. just answered that too.

Congratulations Symphony, it was a beautiful poem. Can't wait to see the picture!

Thanks Virg. I don't know if it was obvious that the images came from the hieroglyphs or not. I had recently been reading some 15th century Italian Neoplatonists who were fascinated with the subject of hieroglyphs. They thought of them as a spiritual pictorial language based on a connection between the things of this world and their higher essential forms, which in turn leads to God. Anyway, all that philosophy got me thinking about the hieroglyphs in this picture and the way they might connect with both life and afterlife.A fascinating poem by Petrarch. I loved this list of images

Thanks everyone.
And the picture for this round will be the following painting, by a renowned Bangladeshi artist- late Zainul Abedin.
I dont want to set a deadline right now. Why not have a few entries first?
But you probably have a whole healthy month. So take your time.
I hope you find it inspiring.

Congrates Symphany.
Worn Sole ... Worn Soul ... Poor So-!
Perched fowl, guard of this blanked rest.
What of our weather'd tenant, who dines on a pavement blessed?
Worn sole ... worn soul ... poor so-!
Perched fowl, who obliges companion rest.
Below: prone and equal upon a concrete nest.
Worn sole ... worn soul ... poor so-!
Perched fowl ... pursed foul?
Who transcribed
These line
Differ both ... sight, sound.
Man-o-post,
Remove your post.
For traffic goes not far.
When vessels rest,
and companions nest,
whose weather'd soles are worn.

Congratulations, Symphony! It is indeed a great poem. You should be very proud.
Congradulations, Sy!
Some of us laugh
Some of us cry
Some of us smoke
Some of us lie
But it's all just the way
that we cope with our lives...
