Description
DON JUAN IN HELL
by Charles Baudelaire
The night Don Juan came to pay his fees
To Charon, by the caverned water's shore,
A Beggar, proud-eyed as Antisthenes,
Stretched out his knotted fingers on the oar.
Mournful, with drooping breasts and robes unsewn
The shapes of woman swayed in ebon skies,
Trailing behind him with a restless moan
Like cattle herded for a sacrifice.
Here, grinning for his wage, stood Sganarelle,
And here Don Luis pointed, bent and dim,
To show the dead who lined the holes of Hell,
This was that impious son who mocked at him.
The hollow-eyed, the chaste Elvira came,
Trembling and veiled, to view her traitor spouse.
Was it one last bright smile she thought to claim,
Such as made sweet the morning of his vows?
A great stone man rose like a tower on board,
Stood at the helm and cleft the flood profound:
But the calm hero, leaning on his sword
Gazed back, and would not offer one look round.
...and my thanks to Zazie for some pieces of her terragen landscape

A chaotic & distorted surreality - I can't decide if it's more like a genade exploding or a killer tornado. Very creative work.

Did you know that the secular meaning behind the word Hell simply meant hidden, out of sight? In the ancient German, when two young folks went to a dark place to hide for some necking, they went to hel, they hid somewhere.The English words helmut, hall, hole, heel, hall all stem from the German word hele. The religious meaning of the word Hell came from Germany too, actually Teutonic mythology. Hele was a goddess of the underworld in ancient folklore (Gary Amirault).

Without you most would never get a glimpse of understanding. But because of people like you even the blinded think they can see now. Claiming always to have felt the depth genuis can encompass they claim to have seen the light.

Baudelaire and Bosch, a powerful combination.
