‘Her tender touch was all but a dream;
Unfurl sweet rosebud, holding morning dew,
By night the rose is gilded by frost’s gleam
What dawn proposes, dusk demeans’

"And I will make thee beds of Roses
And a thousand fragrant posies,
A cap of flowers, and a kirtle
Embroidered all with leaves of Myrtle;"

176. À l'heure du crépuscule - Abduction (Progressive Death/Black Metal, 2018)
Art by Anne-Louis Girodet de Roussy-Trioson: "Four Seasons 03, Autumn", 1814
Girodet had a difficult and at times unpleasant personality, although he was one of the most talented and individual of all Jacques-Louis David’s major pupils.
He is mostly remembered for his precise and clear style and for his paintings of members of the Napoleonic family.
