The title poem I used in this artwork is by
William Morris 1834 – 1896
"though the World be a-waning,
And the woods have no voice but the voice of complaining,
Though the sky be too dark for dim eyes to discover
The gold-cups and daisies fair blooming thereunder,
Though the hills be held shadows, and the sea a dark wonder
And this day draw a veil over all deeds pass'd over,
Yet their hands shall not tremble, their feet shall not falter;
The void shall not weary, the fear shall not alter
These lips and these eyes of the loved and the lover. "
The poem "Love is Enough" by William Morris, an English poet and artist of the 19th century, takes up the theme of love in a world full of darkness, despair and uncertainty. The poem explores the power and meaning of love and shows that it can be comforting, joyful and empowering even in times of decline. This poem touched me deeply.
"Love is Enough" is a timeless poem that reminds us that love has immense power to give us comfort, joy and stability in difficult times. It shows us that love penetrates the darkness and fills us with a sense of hope.
