Description

there are two sets of branches here - reaching for each other - one in the red of passion and one in the blue of despair - and in case you are not familiar with the story - Barbara Allen I have pasted this from http://www.contemplator.com/child/brballen.html (there is a midi file of the tune, but it is a bit quick for my taste) Barbara Allen In Scarlet town where I was born, There was a fair maid dwellin' Made every youth cry Well-a-day, Her name was Barb'ra Allen. All in the merry month of May, When green buds they were swellin' Young Willie Grove on his death-bed lay, For love of Barb'ra Allen. He sent his servant to her door To the town where he was dwellin' Haste ye come, to my master's call, If your name be be Barb'ra Allen. So slowly, slowly got she up, And slowly she drew nigh him, And all she said when there she came: "Young man, I think you're dying!" He turned his face unto the wall And death was drawing nigh him. Good bye, Good bye to dear friends all, Be kind to Bar'bra Allen When he was dead and laid in grave, She heard the death bell knelling. And every note, did seem to say Oh, cruel Barb'ra Allen "Oh mother, mother, make my bed Make it soft and narrow Sweet William died, for love of me, And I shall of sorrow." They buried her in the old churchyard Sweet William's grave was neigh hers And from his grave grew a red, red rose From hers a cruel briar. They grew and grew up the old church spire Until they could grow no higher And there they twined, in a true love knot, The red, red rose and the briar. Lyrics and information are complied from several sources.. There are a legion of others.

Interesting visual interpretation of this great poem/story. Love the bold forms and colors, as they intertwine the blue of despair may eventually overcome all for the red of passion is but a fleeting emotion. Time expands and envelopes all.

A beautiful visual rendition of one of my favorite ballads of all time - a sad, poignant and gripping romance of colors and forms, immortalized in beautiful light! VOTE
