For this dark and lonely room
Projects a shadow cast in gloom.
And my eyes are mirrors
Of the world outside.
Thinking of the way
That the wind can turn the tide.
And these shadows turn
From purple into grey. (Elton John)

For this dark and lonely room Projects a shadow cast in gloom. And my eyes are mirrors Of the world outside. Thinking of the way That the wind can turn the tide. And these shadows turn From purple into grey.

Like the dawn upon a dream Slowly through the scented gloom Crept once more the ruddy gleam O'er the friendly nursery room. There, before our waking eyes, Large and ghostly, white and dim, Dreamed the Flower that never dies, Opening wide its rosy rim.

Alfred Noyes

P. G. Wodehouse

Edith Wharton

Tina Turner

The thing that interests me is that today painters do not have to go to a subject-matter outside themselves. Modern painters work in a different way. They work from within.
