The Non-Works
of
Samuel Tyldsley
Notes
I do this now
for love
I've known
yet could not
give;
For tears
I've cried
alone for you
for swallowed words
and strangled
hopes
I do this now...
for Sharon.
This page
is, again, in the blue cursive style and is an explanation of the pages
which follow it. It is the author's pain and lonliness that prompt
him to share these thoughts with us. Bordering both right and left
sides of the script are depictions of people, (a man on the left and a
woman on the right) represented in vague forms. Both figures are
white and tan in the center, but
slope to a black point below the torso. The figures form the heads
of check marks, the tails of which form an arch above the poem as they
intersect.
The legs of the
arch intersect with a geometric flourish, which is almost heart-shaped,
but pointed at its upper corners. The interior of this arch is a
white field containing a colored flower blossom. This, perhaps, represents
the joining of the two bodies (as portrayed by the figures and the check
marks) in true love (as shown by the blossom).
This entire
picture is on a background of a clear, blue sky, textured only by the high,
misty clouds of a sunny day. This sky is over a landscape of green,
rolling hills with a small stream in the center of the page and trees at
a distance on the right. A solitary tree stands on the left in the
foreground.
The picture
seems to be lighted from the arch and not by the sun, which is nowhere
in sight. The whole is done in watercolor.
The song playing
is Eric Clapton's "Tears in Heaven". It was found at The
Midi Jukebox.
