Welcome to Withering Daisies -- my newest homepage.  Throughout the three years I've been on the Net, I've had many homepages, dark ones, unfinished ones, optimistic ones, silly ones...none of them have ever been my permanant home.  I do not wish to delude myself into thinking that this might be the first place in which I'll stay...but I'll consider it.  My alias is Quail, after all, and Quail I'll be for now...an awkward bird trying to find its nest =)

 

It's been quite a while since I updated this page...I can't remember exactly when I last touched it, but anyway, it's the beginning of June now, and it's the holidays ( :: ecstasy :: ) so you can expect more updates...I think...Well, I've got a new poem, inspired by that 'O Rose, Thou Art Sick!' by William Blake...and I illustrated it as well...*winces* don't expect anything spectacular, but here goes:


Beautiful, ethereal
Trembling on the thin line
Between life and death
Fine veins outlined gently
Against your soft blush
Your eyes half-closed --
waiting
--for death to overcome you
Never more perfect than
You are now; Nothing but a sick rose.

 

 

About Withering Daisies, then.  Created in the middle of May 2000, expires when my interest in it does asa well.  I chose its name for the fleeting thought in my head that breezed its way through.  I thought mostly of human spirit -- beautiful, pure, but dying slowly and surely.  God restores a dying flower (Isaiah) and replenishes its life...And I suppose, that's my wish for my lifetime.  To see people resurrected, radiant and alive.  But for now, they're just withering daisies.

 

Thanks if you read my very long introduction.  I'm Gayle, 12, female, from Singapore, and...this is Withering Daisies.
