The Arrow and The Song

Some days ago while looking on the web for some information on arrows, I stumbled upon this Longfellow poem. It inspired this picture, I couldn’t seem to pull it off the way my minds eye saw it, but here it is anyway.

I shot an arrow into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For, so swiftly it flew, the sight
Could not follow it in its flight.

I breathed a song into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For who has sight so keen and strong,
That it can follow the flight of song?

Long, long afterward, in an oak
I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end,
I found again in the heart of a friend.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
