Description


Dear Suzanne...this one's for you *S* You inspired me... Luv and Hugs, Mina
Mornin' Y'All *S* Today's image is my version of the story of Sheherazade, or Scheherazade,beseeching the heavens for inspiration for her next night's tale. Sheherazade, the heroine of The Thousand and One Nights, was a woman of exceptional intelligence, wisdom and bravery and saved not only her life by telling a series of spellbinding tales during the dark of Arabian nights, but the lives of a dwindling supply of virgins of her country, and, in so doing, educated a King. King Schariar, legendary King of Samarkand found he had been deceived by his wife and as punishment had his wife and a succession of three thousand virgins (one each night) put to death. Against her father's protestations, Sheherazade volunteered to spend one night Sheherazade asked if she might bid one last farewell to her beloved sister Dunyazade, who had secretly been prepared to ask Sheherazade to tell a story during the long night. The King lay awake and listened with awe to Sheherazade's first story and asked for another, but Sheherazade said there wasn't time as dawn was breaking, and regretfully so, as the next story was even more exciting. And so the King kept Sheherazade alive as he eagerly anticipated each new story and after one thousand and one adventurous nights, the King had not only been entertained but wisely educated in morality and kindness by Sheherazade who became his Queen. The present form of The Thousand and One Nights is completely Muslim in spirit and is thought to be native to Persia or one of the Arabic speaking countries. It is one of the few examples of a woman seen as a heroine in an Arabic country. Also, for you Classical music fans, check out Rimsky-Korsakov's Sheherazade....awesome !!! Hope everyone has a great Saturday *S* ~ Love & Hugs ~ * Mina * Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting Photo Credit : stockxchng

Mina, you couldn't have done a more beautiful image to give me. This has all the grace, magic, and romance of the tales of Sheherazade in "1001 Nights". I am so happy I inspired you so you could create this beauty. Your narrative is perfect and sets the scene wonderfully. Thank you, my dear Mina for your thoughtful gift and friendship. Hugs, Suzanne x:)

The story is a great one, but your image is amazing. Although it's not dark, I think it is one of your most beautiful, Mina. Her expression and her eyes say it all. Inspirational, Dear Lady.

Just so Magically charged! The sky appears made of black velvet, pinpricked with stars lit from behind by the stagelights, as the actors await the opening of this nights Magic to begin! Her expression is exquisite, and her ornaments perfect for the setting! Shh! It begins..
