Waning Away (The Green Window Sequence)
«Oh, how like in feature to the Goddesses above!»
Homer (Translated by William Cowper)
Homer (Translated by William Cowper)
… blue grey haze of sadness in her eyes as blue grey as a cloudy sky at dusk / love shadows, gambling cards, green cloth / both alone & afar, she walks away & he stands there, sad gaze following the receding shape …
… to cut off the eyes of an unknown one never seen again …
… embrace in dreamscape, intimacy, awake before waxing delight, dim dull light in her eyes, sadly going away …
… unsinging to fairies under the moon by night, unwalking through the grasslands towards the wood-shaded fountain in her green flower-dressed cloak to hail moon & stars …
… going away …
… fading away …
