Description
After Frank Bernard Dicksee, John William Waterhouse, and John Keats
The young man was palely loitering, like a knight-at-arms, he had fought many feverish battles there just behind the plain of his screen. Haggard and so woe-begone he met a lady at a nearby computer. She was full beautiful, her hair was long, and her eyes were wild. She made him a necklace for his neck and she looked at him as if she did love him. And sure in language strange she said - truly you are the king of the moba. And there she lullèd him asleep and there he dreamed "La Belle Dame sans Merci had him in her power!" alone, and palely loitering, he would never defeat the level boss.

Fabulous!
Thank you very much
Fantiastic re-interpretation of two of my favourite paintings: I love how you have captured the calculating intimicay of Waterhouse's Dame and the and haplessness of Dicksee's knight. Poor guy is , as they say, PWNED!
I pushed my stroll in the pleasant company of these two paintings, to the point of pasticheing certain verses of Keats' poem. I wanted to transfer into this very contemporary scene, something outdated or nostalgic of ancient romanticism. In the poem, it is possible that the knight is dead and that the appearance of this Lady is only the confirmation; I like to think that by living too much through our screens, we are at times dead to real life.
