Description A Bower Scene

"Thou unconsolable daughter," said the sister
"When will thou trouble the water in the cistern?
And what irascible blackguard is a father?"

And when young Margaret's waistline grew wider
The fruit of her amorous entwine inside her
And so our heroine withdraws to the Taiga

--------------------------------

I had a really hard time thinking of what to do for this one, especially because I had no idea what a bower even was (Ah, Decemberists, you and your archaic lyrics). So I did some research... and I'm still not exactly sure what it is, since there seems to be over ten definitions for it. Well, I heard one interpretation of the song that Margaret used to be a nun. Thus the "sister" portion of the song. So here's a pregnant Margaret fleeing the bower, the home of the ladies, and going back into the forest to be with William.

A "bower" is defined as a lady's bedchamber. A very archaic word My interpretation of this song: Margaret and her family are of high society. They find out she's pregnant and sort of disown her, hence the reason she flees to the taiga to find William.

I really like your interpretation though and I love this photo! Very cool. I can't wait for the next photos!

Thanks for the info. Your interpretation makes sense too. One of the things I love about this band is that almost every song means something different to each person.

I'll try to get myself working on the rest of the series then.

The field, castle/hill, girl, and clouds were all separate pictures, and then I combined them and played around with the colors a bit. I'm flattered you think it looks real.
