As he looked at the gracious and comely form he had so skilfully mirrored in his art, a smile of pleasure passed across his face, and seemed about to linger there. But he suddenly started up, and, closing his eyes, placed his fingers upon the lids, as though he sought to imprison within his brain some curious dream from which he feared he might awake.

This is extraordinary. In a quick once-over, easily the most powerful image in the challenge, and entirely in the spirit of me, at least as I view myself and my relationship to life. Thanks for sharing it, brother Peter.
