Notes:
- In response to the following photo prompt by A and I Poetry Challenge
- Inspired by Jostein Gaarder’s book by the same name, phrase originates from I Cor 13:12
- Poetic form attempted is the Diamante
- This is the music I thought of as I wrote:
Feature Photo is taken at Swan Lake, Singapore Botanic Gardens. It is my contribution to Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge, Liquid.
Such a beautiful post in word and images, and then to top it off with Debussy – a feast.

I love the feature photo and more importantly how you used the poem to enhance the photo. It was a difficult photo to write about, but you mastered it very well.

Lovely. I really like the use of that sculpture as a the prompt. I saw it in the Victoria State Art Gallery a couple of years ago — it is amazing.

Is the sculpture very large?

It is an actual deer, taxidermied and covered with glass orbs. It’s an adult deer, so quite big and literally life-size. I found it quite a disturbing piece of sculpture. The orbs act to magnify the animal beneath so there are places where the hide is not just visible, but enlarged. 🤔

Wow! I can only imagine what the size of the installation will do to how we perceive it! Thanks for describing it … this is the only problem with viewing art through photographs – I know it is better than not getting to see it at all, but we lose so much.

I totally get that. I love seeing photos of art exhibitions, and so often if I get to the actual exhibition, it looks different. But I appreciate the photos for those (many) I don’t get to in person.

Lol. I also attempted the diamante (in Afrikaans and without reference to the posted picture) and just finished it, not knowing whether I am anywhere near the goalpost. I love your interpretation and the music.
