Lens-Artists Challenge #283 – Illustrate a Favourite Quote or Poem

If you were to illustrate a favourite quote or poem, what would be your pick? Now you have the opportunity to do just that, and to use 1-4 pictures to make us ”feel” the poem or quote chosen. We will save lyrics for another challenge!

I have chosen some stanzas from the Indian Bengali poet and philosopher Rabindranath Tagore, and his poem The Same Stream of Life.

The same stream of life that runs through my veins night and day

runs through the world and dances in rythmic measures.

It is the same life that shoots in joy through the dust of the earth in numberless blades of grass

and breaks into tumultuous waves of leaves and flowers.

Thank you to Patti for last week’s Dramatic challenge! It brought us so many interesting posts and diverse ways to look upon drama. In fact many pictures I hadn’t thought of for the challenge, suddenly seemed very dramatic and fitting…

Now I hope you are going to have some fun with this challenge too. Pictures often speak for themselves, but this time your task is to let your images show/illustrate your chosen poetry or quote. Be sure to link to my original post and to use the Lens-Artists tag. We are looking forward to seeing your solutions!

And next week, Sofia will be our host – please visit her inspirational site for more!
