Artifice of Eternity

10 x 12

Wood panel, rice paper, acrylic, charcoal, house paint

Inspired by Sailing to Byzantium by W.B. Yeats (excerpt)

O sages standing in God's holy fire

As in the gold mosaic of a wall,

Come from the holy fire, perne in a gyre,

And be the singing-masters of my soul.

Consume my heart away; sick with desire

And fastened to a dying animal

It knows not what it is; and gather me

Into the artifice of eternity.
