Description
Hark, all you ladies that do sleep!
The fairy queen
Bids you awake, and pity them that weep.
You may do in the dark
What the day doth forbid.
Fear not the dogs that bark;
Night will have all hid.
But if you let your lovers moan,
The fairy queen Proserpina
Will send abroad her fairies every one,
That shall pinch black and blue
Your white hands and fair arms
That did not kindly rue
Your paramours harms.
Thomas Campion (1567-1620), British poet. Hark, All You Ladies (l. 1-14).

Mysterious and beautiful and a little scary... it makes me look and think beyond my own boundaries. Great work!

I like it - it's different. In fact, I really like it.
Rebecca Sherman replied:
Thank you, Mary. :) Last spring I wanted to push my own boundaries as far as floral art goes, having documented the garden the year before, and a lot of the results are really dark.
