A frost of cares

My prime of youth is but a frost of cares,
My feast of joy is but a dish of pain,
My crop of corn is but a field of tares,
And all my good is but vain hope of gain.
The day is gone and yet I saw no sun,
And now I live, and now my life is done.

The spring is past, and yet it hath not sprung,
The fruit is dead, and yet the leaves are green,
My youth is gone, and yet I am but young,
I saw the world, and yet I was not seen,
My thread is cut, and yet it was not spun,
And now I live, and now my life is done.

I sought my death and found it in my womb,
I lookt for life and saw it was a shade,
I trode the earth and knew it was my tomb,
And now I die, and now I am but made.
The glass is full, and now the glass is run,
And now I live, and now my life is done.

My prime of youth is but a frost of cares by Chidiock Tichborne

Beautiful art by Silas Merlin

I had to post about all the beautiful art Silas Merlin does. It would be lovely to see people write stories about these imaginative pieces.

Silas Merlin AKA Jean-François Le Saint, is a talented artist from France. He has been a Master Pastelist (Maître Pastelliste) of the Pastel Society of France (Société des Pastellistes de France) since 2009 and now makes amazing digital art, such as the statues shown in this post, in Second Life. His website has more information and pictures. You can watch this video from an exhibit in SL that he also had in real life. And I loved seeing how he does his pastels.

Sculpture by Silas Merlin as part of the decor in The Forest Event
