This is a great painting by Nasmith of The Kinslaying at Aqualonde. This is probably my favorite painting by him, and I chose it when we had to write a poem about a painting for English Class in 9th Grade. Here is my poem :)Dreamlike Fury,
The stench of blood,
The calm of the water,
And the dead floating there.
Rushing Steel,
The solemn tide,
The lamp lights untroubled,
And the red stains below.
Silver Strings,
The dark sky,
The silver-white swan ships,
And the death they will bring.
The battle in all it's rage,
With clash of sword and twang of bow,
Carries a ways across the water,
Before the echoes fade.
The lords in all their fury,
Make history in eyes of men,
Yet can set no ripple,
In the calm of the night.
