The Beguiling of Merlin by Edward Burne-Jones
Bare-footed, she slithers above him, his book of magic held like a platter, a phallic body, feline fingers, phallic nose, feminine lips, her neck an enormous temptation, snakes on her head, her dress a swirl-- blue-green skin, sadistic red hair: she's the one for him. Gray-haired Merlin has lost his beard, sick with disappointment: gaunt, weak tomcat eyes, a young man's fingers, he wants her to want him again. She took his wisdom & will-- excitement in the forest, the overwhelming white flowers. The hawthorn tree envelops him. http://www.csulb.edu/~csnider/merlin.b.jones.jpg
