Elation 心蕩漾

【Photo Inspiration】
《Elation》
Text / Photography by Peter Bok
Being slender and elegant
The beauty feels elate and infatuated
With her dainty and brilliant hands
She puts on make up delicately
Dressing in a waistband-skirt
She dances elegantly
On parting
She sobs and whispers sadly

《Epilogue》:
Some people use water to describe women:
 "The pale eyebrows are like autumn water,
and the jade muscles are associated with breeze." (Dream of the Red Chamber).

I like flowers.
Recently I enjoyed the blooming tulips at the Edwards Gardens in Toronto.
The flowers have different forms with charming colors.
"Her robe lets me think of the clouds and flower reminds me of her face.
The spring breezes sweep gently over the balcony with glimmering of the bright dews." (Qing Ping Tune by LI Bai).
I think it is more appropriate to describe pretty, wise and elegant women with flowers.

【畫意書情】《心蕩漾》:

裊裊玉人心蕩漾
纖纖妙手弄粧台
盈盈楚舞羅裙帶
囁囁潸然別緒哀

《後記》：
有人以水來形容女子：
「淡眉如秋水，玉肌伴清風。」《紅樓夢》。
我喜歡花。
日前在多倫多愛德華植物公園，
欣賞綻放的鬱金香，
形態萬千，
色彩迷人。
「雲想衣裳花想容，春風拂檻露華濃。」《李白•清平調》。
我覺得以花描寫漂亮高潔女子較為貼切。
