Dear Mr Burne Jones
Dear Mr Burne Jones
Dear Mr Burne Jones.
I am just a little in love
With your art.
The flowing lines and vibrant colours
Mesmerise mind and kidnap heart.
I am stolen away
Through time and place
By Merlin and Nimue.
The here and now is erased
I am the very substance of your heroines
And on this page
My fumbling fingers take wings
The golden glory of your brush strokes
Makes my words sweetly sing.
Dear Mr Burne Jones.
I am just a little in love
With your art.

I was not familiar with the artist, Eve, but have now checked him out.
A different slant on the Merlin/Nimue thing can be found in Bernard Cornwell’s excellent Warlord Chronicles series of novels.
