Eurydice & Orpheus

I dreamt it last night

That my dead love came in

So softly she moved

That her feet made no din

Then she came close beside me

And this she did say

"It will not be long love,

till our wedding day

 

I have been wanting to do a piece on these lovers for some time now and when I walked into Del May poses and saw this pose called "Eurydice and Orpheus" I knew it was fate!

 

This story, whilst embedded in mythology feels very human. A passionate enduring love torn apart by death. A lover who would do anything to get his soulmate back, human frailty and finally the choice of taking death to be with that person forever.
