Do not fret, my dear

No longer will you feel the chill––

      Hi Michelle! I love the images too! They’re by one of my favorite fantasy artists, Luis Royo. If you click on either image it will take you to one of his sites and you can see more of his stuff. Thank you! 🙂

    Wow! Love the contrast in the poem. The pictures give it a real sense of darkness.
