The funeral of Percy Bysshe Shelley has been the subject of several paintings and was inscribed in the annals of history with Edward Trelawny’s description of his reaching into the pyre to pluck out Percy Bysshe Shelley’s heart before the flames could consume it.
The dark flames of the flower show the heart in the middle. I am not familiar with the story of Shelley's funeral. But it does seem to be perfect for this photo.
I would love to see this beautiful and intriguing heart linked to Guest Heart Thursday. The linky is open until Sunday (hint, hint!)!
Nothing of him that doth fade / But doth suffer a sea-change / Into something rich and strange.

there was fire on the Bridge, yet only here the heart of flames was born - the Bridge and the Garden become one!
ReplyDeleteGreat imagination Prospero. What a tragic end for a superb Poet.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand it except it is pretty, dead or alive.
ReplyDeleteAs you know, a heart means something special to me. In a way, this post put that in a certain perspective. A fine post.

ReplyDeleteI don't know this flower. The edge is good. And the color, did you make this color? I like this deep pink.
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful. How utterly beautiful. I can hardly put what I'm feeling, as I look at this, into words.
ReplyDeleteThis fills my eyes.
