An Illustrated Invite to Eternity

(the cover)

"Wilt thou go with me sweet maid / Say maiden …"

(this opening spread is the only one with one layer of images)

"…wilt thou go with me / Through the valley depths of shade/ Of night and dark obscurity/ Where the path hath lost its way… Sweet maiden wilt thou go with me"

(with the transparency turned in the initial direction)

(with the transparent page turned - note it "corrects" the punctuation on both sides, a little tricky to see not-in-person)

Note: The rest of the images are posted in this same order - transparency one way, transparency the other way.

"… Where stones will turn to flooded streams / Where plains will rise like ocean waves / Where life will fade like visioned dreams… Say maiden"

"… Wilt thou go with me / In this strange death of life to be…" "…Yet to see / Things pass like shadows and the sky / Above, below, around us lie"

"The land of shadows wilt thou trace / And look - nor know each others face"

"Say maiden can thy life be led / To join the living with the dead / Then trace thy footsteps on with me / We're wed to one eternity"
