Impatient of my absence,
And grief that young Octavius with Mark Antony
Have made themselves so strong- for with her death
That tidings came- with this she fell distract,
And (her attendants absent) swallow'd fire

Portia died eating hot coals...
She killed herself for the fear of losing her beloved Brutus... and being left alone with out him... (5 years and 3445 days ago)
this image has a spooky feel to it... i really like it
Oh my, it's really tragic! It's possible to understand how lonely she was... she preferred to die than getting a broken heart!
this is great i totally think this image will do well in the contest and the smoke is a nice touch to this incredible image!
great job
"It is better to create than to learn! Creating is the essence of life." -Julius Caesar
and you have created so much within this one work of art. you've portrayed death, the leaving of a spirit. and illustrated a great work of literature, but such an unrecognized part of that work. Oh dear, you've captivated me with this one. i keep coming back and looking. its amazing.
that smoke coming out of her mouth is perfect
Howdie stranger!
