I would love to have someone look at me the way those two are looking, and the beautiful way it is described in the poem :)
Would not we all? I think it was Pearlette up there who said the poem not only well-expressed Frodo if he had loved, but the heart of anyone who truly loved. The poem is art because while it perfectly applies to its specific case (Frodo and the mystery person he loves), it is applicable beyond itself.
THanks for the compliments, Starlit Woods. I don't know how many more I'll do. I keep saying, "That's my last one." Simply because I don't find that many likely source paintings that would work well for various reasons (face in bad position, body a poor match, not a large enough copy of the image, etc.). But everytime I think, "Well, that's that," an image (like this Sheila Metzner art photograph) will just turn up on its own and I'll say, "Wow, I have to do it!"
