Avances
casi finales (faltan unos últimos toques al rostro, pero necesito luz de día
y natural para hacerlos; mañana será). Fotografío sin flash para controlar el dorado del fondo pero pierdo nitidez en los contrastes y en la calidad del color.
Y me consentí
el capricho de incluir fragmentos del poema de Poe Eldorado, por qué sí, sólo para mí.
Gaily
bedight,
A
gallant knight,
In sunshine
and in shadow,
Had
journeyed long,
Singing
a song,
In search of
Eldorado.
But
he grew old—
This
knight so bold—
And o’er his
heart a shadow—
Fell
as he found
No
spot of ground
That looked
like Eldorado.
And,
as his strength
Failed
him at length,
He met a
pilgrim shadow—
‘Shadow,’
said he,
‘Where
can it be—
This land of
Eldorado?’
‘Over
the Mountains
Of
the Moon,
Down the
Valley of the Shadow,
Ride,
boldly ride,’
The
shade replied,—
‘If you seek
for Eldorado!’
