Original artwork description:

The Flower_x000D_ _x000D_ The flower, very dry and scentless,_x000D_ I see in the forgotten book;_x000D_ And now, with the strangest fancies,_x000D_ Is filled my soul’s every nook._x000D_ _x000D_ Where and in which spring was it grown?_x000D_ And how long? By whom was cut?_x000D_ By a hand known or unknown?_x000D_ And why was put this page behind?_x000D_ _x000D_ To the recall of the love-talking,_x000D_ Or separation forced by fate,_x000D_ Or quiet and alone walking_x000D_ In the fields’ silence and woods’ shade?_x000D_ _x000D_ Is he alive? And his sweet lady?_x000D_ And where is now their little nook?_x000D_ Or maybe they had both faded,_x000D_ Like this strange flower in this book? _x000D_ _x000D_ Aleksandr Pushkin, 1828 (Translated by Yevgeny Bonver)_x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ This painting was created specifically for the "Muted Competition" on Artfinder.
