MissedOpportunities_

Photo Details
Poster: retro  (see this users gallery)

I love this sad, haunting little verse. TS Eliot´s allusions are not always easy to understand but I think the rose garden is a metaphor for something wonderful that he let slip by and has always regretted. I couldn´t resist illustrating it with a - somewhat altered - photo of the gateway and path to my own rose garden which I wouldn´t miss for the world.

I used a background and a few elements from my latest kit, Key To My Heart. If you´d like to have a couple of kit FREEBIES to display the things or the people that you love best, you´ll find them here: http://board.deco-pages.com/forums/s...ead.php?t=4290

Awesome page! I love the blended photo of your rose garden entry! How perfect it is for the quote that you used. Just beautiful!

Beautiful. I'm trying to truly understand the verse because it made me cry - it's so beautiful - I'm trying to understand the the last line. Thank you for sharing this.

Julie, I can´t be sure of course but, since he says "we", perhaps he means a lost love.

How deep...I think you are spot on with your assessment...and your page gives a sense of that missing, bit out of focus, touch of what we all may have missed. Great job!

Lovely dreamy effect to go with the missed opportunities of the poem.
