Artist's CommentsSo, I was presented with the challenge of coming up with an Irish Romance. And the more thought I did, the more I realized how few Irish Romances truly had happy endings (by our definition). Still, I think there's a lot to be said for the tragic beauty of the tale of Tristan and Iseult (some people say Isolde...though there are about 6 versions of her name). Here are two people destined to be together even though all the world has been thrown in front of them hellbent on keeping them separate. They share only passioned, fleeting moments with one another, and do what they can despite their better judgement. For those of you that don't know, Iseult is an expert herbalist and healer, which comes in handy for when she finds poor Tristan, nearly dead from poison inflicted during a battle with her (unwanted) betrothed. Trust me when I say, their story is SO complicated I cannot begin to explain all of it and do it justice. If you saw the movie: good. You scratched the surface. Though in the end they can only be rejoined in death, they never stopped loving each other. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- stock credits go to: =faestock - Iseult of Ireland ~LinzStock - Tristan (the always beaten and never well) *gild-a-stock - Newgrange-y texture of awesome *SerendipityStock- All of the Irish background pieces.

 reports, 1d 8h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community. |

I feel like a hero and you are my heroine. I won't try to philosophize,
I'll just take a deep breath and I'll look in your eyes. This is how I feel.
