A Fantasy at The Huntington

 

Goodbye, gilded stairs.
Out of the palace doors and into the blinding sunlight.

We traveled to the hall of faces, where we witnessed the decay of life.

Eyes stare at you from the shadows, dolls enact the dance of time, and everything turns to dust eventually. We traveled through wonderland, through a forest of roses.

We witnessed Aphrodite on a pedestal, smiling down on us.
A wise old duck led us to an Emperor's Palace, we traveled through a pond meditating on our past lives.

Across the desert to the mausoleum, it was a grand sight; carved marble, how it overwhelmed me.

Returned to meet the Gods on a field of green, witness the dragonfly in the marble fountain.

Everything is gilded marble here, we bid farewell to Poseidon and the adventure is over.
