Deer Lost in a Coral Forest

"Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard
Are sweeter; therefore, ye soft pipes, play on;
Not to the sensual ear, but, more endear'd,
Pipe to the spirit ditties of no tone [...]"
-John Keats

The Natural Graces

Does their beauty depend upon their pain? The delicate sentiment is slowly tinged with an element of fear. Half in flight, half grown--their freedom would be their death. I want to see them fly; I hope that they would never.

(Painting by Rene Magritte, "The Natural Graces").
