___
The subject of the dead Lady in a boat or barge floating down the river inspired Edward Robert Hughes, William A. Breakspeare, John La Farge, and John Atkinson Grimshaw. This theme interested artists because of the sensuality suggested by dead Lady’s recumbent body and the decadent attraction of the union of death and beauty, sensuality and spirituality.
John Atkinson Grimshaw painted the dead Lady of Shalott floating down the river in her funeral barge after having done a similar painting, Elaine, in 1877. Both paintings convey the atmospheric stillness of the dead lady as she floats through the night.

‏أمٌ تصابٌ بسكتةٍ قلبيةٍ إثرَ أخذِ أطفالها الثلاثةِ منها استعدادًا لنحرهم غدًا !
وطفلٌ يرجو أن يُحدَّ السكينُ جيدًا كيّ يُقتلَ بسرعة !
وأطفالٌ تيتموا .. وعائلاتٌ تشردت !
وأرواحٌ تطيرُ إلى السماءْ .. إلى الجنة !
ودعواتٌ من شتى بقاعِ الأرض أن يحفظهم ربي ويفرجَ كربتهم ..
فيارب، الطف بأرواحِ الصِغار ..
وأجمعَ شملَ اليتامى في جنتك ..
وارزقهمُ النصرَ القريبَ يارب ..
يارب، اجعلْ بقوّتكَ وجبروتكَ بشار يتمنى الموتَ ولا يجده ..

يا الله كُن لسوريا .. يا الله ..

“The pain of war has become too much for these men. Wrapped in blankets, they have retreated into themselves. Vulnerable and haunted by demons, they are the uncounted casualties of decades of war.” - Steve McCurry
