Three Graces

"Body, Mind, Soul - dancing" after Raphael's "Three Graces" , oil on canvas 60x80cm.

"VIII

Labour is blossoming or dancing where
The body is not bruised to pleasure soul.
Nor beauty born out of its own despair,
Nor blear-eyed wisdom out of midnight oil.
O chestnut-tree, great-rooted blossomer,
Are you the leaf, the blossom or the bole?
O body swayed to music, O brightening glance,
How can we know the dancer from the dance?"

William Butler Yeats - from "The Tower"
