Feathers of Formality Blackwork & Cross Stitch
THIS IS A DIGITAL PATTERN NOT A FINISHED STITCHED PIECE
And life arose in our paths; for the tall flamingo, hitherto unseen, with all gay glowing birds, flaunted his scarlet plumage before us. The golden and silver fish haunted the river, out of the bosom of which issued, little by little, a murmur that swelled, at length, into a lulling melody more divine than that of the harp of Aeolus-sweeter than all save the voice of Eleonora.
-- Edgar Allan Poe
