Matthew Thomas | Seascape with Waves Crashing on Rocks | MutualArt

A depiction of the Elvenesse coast, circa 1830

 

Twas in Elvenland, and in

Malin-wood that the fire

Burned so bright, red and white and

 gold it was; the fires of

 death and destruction

 

Before the fire was the calm, silent and reverent

Proud and wild, like the Elven lord before

The ranks of steel shivered in anticipation

 And before him, they were nothing

 

His wrath and hatred most unholy, his

Killing and destruction brought forth upon

The forest of green-fire pines great

And lastly the stone of seawalls 

 

Why does the sea flee from the stone, yet

To crash upon it again?

When fire brought new life, and when

New life brought fire

 

 ~ Nothing will ever be the same again ~
