The tide is full, the moon lies fair Upon the straits; on the French coast the light Gleams and is gone; the cliffs of England stand, Glimmering and vast, out in the tranquil bay. Come to the window, sweet is the night-air! Only, from the long line of spray Where the sea meets the moon-blanched land, Listen! you hear the grating roar Of pebbles which the waves draw back, and fling, At their return, up the high strand, Begin, and cease, and then again begin, With tremulous cadence slow, and bring The eternal note of sadness in. Sophocles long ago Heard it on the Ægean, and it brought Into his mind the turbid ebb and flow Of human misery; we Find also in the sound a thought, Hearing it by this distant northern sea. The Sea of Faith Was once, too, at the full, and round earth’s shore Lay like the folds of a bright girdle furled. But now I only hear Its melancholy, long, withdrawing roar, Retreating, to the breath Of the night-wind, down the vast edges drear And naked shingles of the world. Ah, love, let us be true To one another! for the world, which seems To lie before us like a land of dreams, So various, so beautiful, so new, Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light, Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain; And we are here as on a darkling plain Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight, Where ignorant armies clash by night.

I am a freelance actress, artist and writer who has always loved creating art of one form or another. My art on other sites is under the name of First Night Design. Self-taught, I have a disabling condition (Limited Cutaneous Systemic Sclerosis) that means I concentrate on digital art. I have surprised myself with the work I have created thus far. The more I learn about art and design software, the more I am inspired to try unusual effects. One piece of art often comes out of the "˜out-takes' of another; possibilities seem endless and enticing. For me, the most important things in life are love and laughter. I hope that you will find something in my gallery to love or amuse. Thank you for your visit.
