Incantation

[Dark Water - from DarkWallpapers]

Water queen river, daybreak! Send grief beyond the blue sea, to the sea-bottom, like a gray stone never to rise from the sea-bottom, may grief never come to burden the light heart of God's servent, may grief be removed and sink away.

-North Russian Incantation, quoted from Roman Jakobson, Linguistics and Poetics

Beautiful. The pic reminds me of that Harper's Bazaar one you liked.
