To Helen

Helen, thy beauty is to me

Like those Nicean barks of yore,

That gently, o'er a perfumed sea,

The weary, way-worn wanderer bore

To his own native shore.

On desperate seas long wont to roam,

Thy hyacinth hair, thy classic face,

Thy Naiad airs have brought me home

To the glory that was Greece

And the grandeur that was Rome

Lo! in yon brilliant window-niche

How statue-like I see thee stand!

The agate lamp within thy hand,

Ah! Psyche, from the regions which

Are Holy Land!

Edgar Allan Poe

Autumn fingers pull me inward from the day,

Cooled between shadows there we can play,

Green blades of pillows,

Quilted patches of leaves,

The sun swathes in clear blue,

There wedded love amongst Autumnal trees.

Body Paint Wedding Dresses That Hide Nothing At All

It should fit perfectly and she should look extravagant in it. But what if the traditional wedding gown is replaced by a painting?
