A nameless girl in freshest summer-greens …
He feeds upon her face by day and night,
And she with true kind eyes looks back on him,
Fair as the moon and joyful as the light:
Not wan with waiting, not with sorrow dim;
Not as she is, but was when hope shone bright;
Not as she is, but as she fills his dream.
“In an Artist’s Studio”
Christina Rossetti
[In this new addition to my Card Games series, an antique photo portrait and some of my own photographs have been blended with a blank page from a coloring book published in 1946. The blank page was colored by me in Photoshop.]
