"Oranges" - Postcard

© All Rights Reserved
(Click on image to enlarge)

This week's Sunday Postcard Art theme was "Oranges and Lemons." I thought it was one of them or both. Regardless, I struggled with the theme.

I created this using GIMP 2.10.30

The vintage images are from an Internet search. (See the side of my blog for links.)

Featured in the weekly sampler.

-----

So, we'll go no more a roving
So late into the night,
Though the heart be still as loving,
And the moon be still as bright.

For the sword outwears its sheath,
And the soul wears out the breast,
And the heart must pause to breathe,
And love itself have rest.

Though the night was made for loving,
And the day returns too soon,
Yet we'll go no more a roving
By the light of the moon.

So We'll Go No More a Roving By Lord Byron (George Gordon)

Well, you say you had trouble with this theme but what you did is very beautiful, original and perfectly successful Anne!
The poem is also magnificent, sad, wise, true and so well written.
