of dreams walking among giants
oil on canvas, 2008
60 by 48 in.
Not long ago, in a charming dream,
I saw myself -- a king with crown's treasure;
I was in love with you, it seemed,
And heart was beating with a pleasure.
I sang my passion's song by your enchanting knees.
Why, dreams, you didn't prolong my happiness forever?
But gods deprived me not of whole their favor:
I only lost the kingdom of my dreams.
The Dream
Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin
(1799-1837)
