Description
About suffering they were never wrong,
The Old Masters: how well they understood
Its human position; how it takes place
While someone else is eating or opening a window or just walking dully along
How, when the aged are reverently, passionately waiting
For the miraculous birth, there always must be
Children who did not specially want it to happen, skating
On a pond at the edge of the wood:
They never forgot
That even the dreadful martyrdom must run its course
Anyhow in a corner, some untidy spot
Where the dogs go on with their doggy life and the torturer's horse
Scratches its innocent behind on a tree.
- W.H. Auden

Very powerful portrait. The subtle smudged tears as if she tried to wipe them away to hide her sorrow. Very moving.

Superb lighting. There's definitely a subtle sense of melancholia about this lady's expression.
