Ophelia by John William Waterhouse (1889)
So I did something an artist should never do- lose patience....I don't really know if I'll work on this painting anymore, but it was fun painting a portrait for the first time, and I'll do better next time :)
But if I'd ever leave you
It couldn't be in autumn
How I'd leave in autumn
I never will know
I've seen how you sparkle
When fall nips the air
I know you in autumn
And I must be there
If Ever I Would Leave You, Robert Goulet from Camelot
The falling leaves drift by the window
The autumn leaves of red and gold…
Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall
Autumn Leaves, Nat King Cole
Proserpine by Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1874)
Pre-Raphaelite
Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
Old time is still a-flying;
And this same flower that smiles today
Tomorrow will be dying.
The glorious lamp of heaven the sun,
The higher he's a-getting,
The sooner will his race be run,
And nearer he's to setting.
That age is best which is the first,
When youth and blood are warmer;
But being spent, the worse, and worst
Times still succeed the former.
Then be not coy, but use your time,
And, while ye may, go marry;
For, having lost but once your prime,
You may forever tarry.
-To the Virgins, To Make Much of Time
Robert Herrick, 1648
Originally published in his book of poetry Hesperides as poem 208
