Description

...For the Star:heart:

A little Hallowen drawing inspired by :
"The worship the heart lifts above
And the heavens reject not, -
The desire of the moth for the star,
The devotion to something afar
From the sphere of our sorrow?"

[Shelley,Prometheus Unbound]

[I had to make up a little story to go with this,as I'm babysitting my monster cousins,& it kept them amused!!:lol:
Once upon a time[which is how all good faerytales start...]there lived an undead creature,a girl who would play by herself in the graveyard,& sigh to the moon that she was so very lonely....
Her only friends were the spiders...the pretty creatures were scared of her dead flesh & soulless eyes.
Until one day the Lord of the Dead passed by,& the girl fell in love...but he didn't even know she was dead....:P
She asked the spiders for help...if I have a heart she reasoned...he'll see me & love me ...& I'll have a friend[how she could love without a heart is not quite certain...but she did!]
The spiders had a wonderful idea....she could make herself a heart...so she begged the moon & the stars to help her...& made a heart out of moonlight & stardust, cobbled together with spidersilk.
She opened her chest & placed the heart inside...almost immediately moths & other creatures were attracted to her...you glow like a star, they said.
So now...the Lord of the Dead still doesn't notice her,but now she doesn't care.She could only change herself,not him,and discovered a way to show what was inside herself all along...:heart:
So now,the spiders weave her starsilk hair into their webs,the moths keep her company,& the night sky is reflected in her star-wrought eyes.]
