[DAY 12] W. B. Yeats x Fragonard x Mozart | Daily Art | "My dreams under your feet; Tread softly."

Описание: Welcome to Blue Hour Gallery.

Have you ever loved someone so deeply that even offering the most magnificent things felt like not enough? Today’s ‘Piece of Art’ is a story about the most noble devotion a poor poet can offer to his beloved—his 'dreams.'

Today, we pair the soul of Ireland, W. B. Yeats’ poem He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven, with the vibrant and romantic world of Jean-Honoré Fragonard’s The Progress of Love, a masterpiece of Rococo elegance. Set to the graceful and spirited melodies of Mozart’s Piano Sonata No. 13 in B-flat Major, we hope your time with us shines as brightly as the gold and silver cloths of the heavens.

Just as the poet laid down his dreams because they were all he had, asking his love to tread softly... we hope that wherever your steps lead today, they are met with someone’s sincere heart and the beauty of this music.

📜 He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven (William Butler Yeats, 1899)

He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven
Had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
