It startled horse and rider both, that view,
That sudden, eerie view of ruins old.
The moon was very bright, but big clouds blew
Across the sky, and all was dark and cold.

She lulled sailors with her singing.
Then drowned them.
Or ate them.
Yummy tasty sailors.

Parts of some commissions. The first one is inspired on Arnold Böcklin’s “Isle of death” which is one of my favourite paintings ever.
