In the Shadow of Gods
Rachel Deering
Screenshot of cover of my poetry collection

This painting is "Allégorie du temps" (Allegory of Time) by French Symbolist painter Luc-Olivier Merson (1846–1920). It depicts a central female figure, possibly representing Time, with two winged putti or cherubs, often associated with love or the passage of time. The background features a golden, mosaic-like texture, and a prominent tree.

‘Sometimes I leaned over till my shadow mingled with that of Miss Sophie; then it seemed to me that we two were one.’ ~ Steen Steensen Blicher, The Diary of a Parish Clerk.

This #BookWormSat celebrates the short story for Blicher’s birthday. Do join us.

🖼️ Émile Friant, 1891.

Two lovers; a man and a woman in black, she is standing, he is sitting, she is looking away, he is looking at her, he is holding her hand, they cast shadows onto the wall behind them. Painting.

Goodnight.
‘Oh whence do you come, my dear friend, to me
With your golden hair all fallen below your knee
And your face as white as snowdrops on the lea
And your voice as hollow as the hollow sea?’ The Poor Ghost, Christina Rossetti. #31DaysOfHalloween
🖼️ Aksel Johannessen, c.1920.

Ghostly woman in a white dress and with blonde, bobbed hair stood beneath a tree at night with a bench beside her and a fence and green shrubs and trees behind, painting.
