Sight

Has sight worth without vision?

Edited by TheRavenOfPoe.


Music: "Lullaby" by Loreena McKennitt (including the poetry of William Blake)

Prologue, intended for a Dramatic Piece of King Edward the Fourth
by
William Blake (1757-1827)

"O for a voice like thunder, and a tongue
To drown the throat of war! When the senses
Are shaken, and the soul is driven to madness,
Who can stand? When the souls of the oppressed
Fight in the troubled air that rages, who can stand?
When the whirlwind of fury comes from the
Throne of God, when the frowns of his countenance
Drive the nations together, who can stand?
When Sin claps his broad wings over the battle,
And sails rejoicing in the flood of Death;
When souls are torn to everlasting fire,
And friends of Hell rejoice upon the slain,
O who can stand? O who hath caused this?
O who can answer at the throne of God?
The Kings and Nobles of the Land have done it!
Hear it not, Heaven, thy Ministers have done it!"

I especially liked the combination of Ancient traditional music and time lapse photography. It really gives the viewer a sense of the passage of time. The colorful glowing clouds bring delight to the mind through the sense of sight. I wonder, This video highlights the sense of sight. Will there be more videos for the other senses too? Please! :)

[TheRavenOfPoe]

You are very clever Brian, hehe! There just might be others on other senses ;) Of course with the long list of videos I am keen to make and the random order at which I make them, it is not clear if all of them will see the light ;)

wonderful job!

[TheRavenOfPoe]

Thanks nicanicabad! =)

It's a rare soul that feels the romance in the wild elements of Nature. This video touches me. I've been to many places that had the elements you've shown. A forest in a windstorm, crashing waves on the beach, a red glowing sunset...Pure magic. Food for the Gods :)

[TheRavenOfPoe]

I think the wild elements of Nature are actually one of the few things that would make any soul feel that connection ^^

Love the video J., For me it kind of has a sense of urgency and even without the title and description seems to be asking important questions... something along the lines of what do you see? and deeper, what do you want to see? what is your role in this creation? (ie. perception). It kind of feels like its presenting a challenge such as 'how do you wish to define things?' . Expansive stuff J. esp. when considering humans are now engaging other senses. Thnks for sharing your vision. -Mark

Then onward over the mountain

And outward towards the sea

They had come to claim the Emerald

Without it they could not leave

[Mediawatch08]

Down from the glen came the marching men With their shields and their swords To fight the fight they believed to be right Overthrow the overlords To the town where there was plenty They brought plunder, swords and flame When they left the town was empty Children would never play again From their graves I heard the fallen Above the battle cry By that bridge near the border There were many more to die

This is beautiful.

Very beautiful work. To write any more would detract from the simple truth of that statement.

[TheFlawedPoet]

Great stuff ... very moving to say the least!

Pretty. I love Loreena McKennitt.
