part 342 nightmares on elm street
Nightmare on Elm Street 342: Freddy Applies for a Passport. I think it'll be a hit! Oh, meme. It's still October. The awesome-ist month of the year! For about a week and a half more, anyway. I have been watching horror movies and contemplating putting up fake cobwebs--but I think my cat might eat them. Do you think, meme--do you dare to hope--we might get some Halloween doodles from Himaruya this year?
Enjoy part 342! And whatever you do: don't. fall. asleep.

31 Days of Meme Halloween
Today's Theme: Death and the Maiden
'Death and the Maiden' is a motif/theme that may have first arisen as a subset Danse Macabre. Death and the Maiden paintings, or sculpture or other art typically feature two things: Death. And a maiden. (Shocking, I know!) These paintings would often be somewhat sensual or erotic, as well.
I'm going to share some of my favorite Death and the Maiden paintings. Do you have any favorites, meme?

Franz Schubert (music) + Matthias Claudius (poem)
The Maiden:
Pass me by! Oh, pass me by!
Go, fierce man of bones!
I am still young! Go, rather,
And do not touch me.
And do not touch me.
Death:
Give me your hand, you beautiful and tender form!
I am a friend, and come not to punish.
Be of good cheer! I am not fierce,
Softly shall you sleep in my arms!
Franz Schubert composed a lied for the poem, which can be heard here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heAjdhLvfQE
