All paid jobs absorb and degrade the mind,

BIO Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow-
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.
I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand-
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep- while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?

I love this image .. somehow I feel it is like it came right out of my imagination - a world I somehow know, but never realized in my own images. Strange .. :-) Super details, perfect with that lantern on the chain and that sky. Excellent!

Great atmosphere; heavy and misty. Looks so much familiar but then there's that enigmatic ringed giant looming in the sky just behind those heavy clouds.
