Artist's Comments

:icondonotplz::iconmyartplz:

It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know,
By the name of Annabel Lee;
And this maiden she lived with no other thought than to love and be loved by me.

I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea:
But we loved with a love that was more than love -
I and my Annabel Lee;
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven
Coveted her and me.

And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
My beautiful Annabel Lee;
So that her highborn kinsmen came,
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulchre,
In this kingdom by the sea.

The angels, not half so happy in heaven,
Went envying her and me -
Yes! - that was the reason (as all men know,
In this kingdom by the sea)
That the wind came out of a cloud by night,
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.

But our love it was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we -
Of many far wiser than we -
And neither the angels in heaven above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee.

For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise, but I feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so, all the night tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling - my darling - my life and my bride,

In her supulchre there bye the sea,
In her tomb by the sounding sea.

-Edgar A. Poe

AC: Interpret this as you will (: I love this poem, and I'm not fully satisfied with this piece. I'll either scrap it or get back to work on it later, if I don't completely redo it. But it's conceptual, and individual interpretations (for the poem AND the piece) will differ - I'm not going to explain.

Thank you! ^//^ I really didn't think it was that amazing, but it's nice to get positive feedback because it makes me want to improve it and make it seem a little bit more worthy. I really appreciate it.
