Whether or not you know the writings of Virginia Woolf, this poster will suit you if you love the beach and the sea. The drawing was inspired by this passage from the book Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf: “So on a summer's day waves collect, overbalance, and fall; collect and fall; and the whole world seems to be saying 'that is all' more and more ponderously, until even the heart in the body which lies in the sun on the beach says too 'that is all'. Fear no more, says the heart. Fear no more, says the heart, committing its burden to some sea, which sighs collectively for all sorrows, and renews, begins, collects, lets fall.”

This original acrylic portrait painting is titled: "You Are Love And Lonely". This text is also written on the painting and is from a poem written by Gerard Reve in his book 'Nader tot U': “Eigenlijk geloof ik niets, en twijfel ik aan alles, zelfs aan U. Maar soms, wanneer ik denk dat Gij waarachtig leeft, dan denk ik, dat Gij Liefde zijt, en eenzaam, en dat, in dezelfde wanhoop, Gij mij zoekt zoals ik U." My translation of this poem to English is: "To be honest, I don't believe anything, and doubt everything, even You. But at times, when I think that You truly live, then I think, that You are love, and lonely, and that, in the same despair, You look for me as I You."

This printable artwork is inspired by a text I read written by Soren Kierkegaard: “Something wonderful happened to me. I was transported into the Seventh Heaven. All the gods sat there in assembly. By special grace I was accorded the favour of a wish. ‘Will you, ‘ Said Mercury, ‘have youth, or beauty, or power, or a long life, or the prettiest girl, or any other of the many splendours we have in our chest of knickknacks? So choose, but just one thing.’ For a moment I was at a loss. Then I addressed myself to the gods as follows: ‘Esteemed contemporaries, I choose one thing: always to have the laughter on my side.’ Not a single word did one god offer in answer; on the contrary they all began to laugh. From this I concluded that my prayer was fulfilled and that the gods knew how to express themselves with taste, for it would hardly have been fitting gravely to answer, ‘It has been granted you.'”
