EXHIBITION : '​​STANZAS & SKETCHES'
 ~

'A selection of drawings, paintings and etchings inspired by words courtesy of poets of the past. 
​The exhibition objective; to determine whether a viewers reaction to writing is impacted more or less when accompanied by visual stimulus. '


Picture

'When by my solitary hearth I sit,
When no fair dreams
before my 'mind’s eye' flit,

 And the bare heath of life
presents no bloom;

Sweet Hope, ethereal balm
upon me shed,
And wave thy silver
​pinions o’er my head.'

Picture

'Whene’er I wander, at the fall of night,
Where woven boughs shut out
the moon’s bright ray,

Should sad Despondency
my musings fright,
And frown, to drive
fair Cheerfulness away,

Peep with the moon-beams
through the leafy roof,
And keep that fiend Despondence
​far aloof.'

Picture

'Should Disappointment,
parent of Despair,
Strive for her son to seize
my careless heart.

When, like a cloud, he sits upon the air,
     Preparing on his spell-bound
prey to dart: 
Chase him away, sweet Hope,
​with visage bright,

And fright him as the
​morning frightens night!'
