two scans from a favourite book "The Modern Woodcut" by Herbert Furst
on one of my favourite obsessions... Le Satyre
Here illustrating Paul Claudel's "Protee"
Daragnes also illustrated Oscar Wilde's "Ballad of Reading Gaol" Gerard de Nerval's "Main Enchantee" and Poe's "Raven" to name a few
.
..let there be darkness as I await my portion in which will be created from my soul the drop ready to fall in its greatest heaviness. Let me offer a libation to you in the shadows, like the mountain spring that offers drink to the Ocean in its little shell!
Paul Claudel
