Love is a temporary madness - high quality calligraphy print of a favourite wedding poem - Captain Corelli's Mandolin extract
$31.14
A beautiful, quality print from a handwritten calligraphy original.
Love is a temporary madness, it erupts like volcanoes and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being in love, which any fool can do. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident.
Those that truly love have roots that grow towards each other underground, and, when all the pretty blossom has fallen from their branches, they find that they are one tree and not two.
PRINT HANGER OPTIONS
Print hangers are optional - our wooden hangers use magnets to securely hold your print in place. Print hangers are real wood in a natural colourway to suit all home styles.
Prints with or without hangers will be sent rolled as a scroll and tied with a ribbon.
We'll include framing instructions if you choose print hangers to go with your artwork.
PERSONALISATION
Personalise your print with names and / or a date below the main text - e.g. "Sam & Charlie 24.05.2021" - 5 words maximum please.
OUR PROCESS
Your poem was originally written with a dippy pen and pot of ink by Claire - a calligrapher with 15 years experience, specialising in popular modern calligraphy
Every poem is scanned at high resolution to capture every nuance and hairline of the original calligraphy lettering. Final printing is presented on a softly textured white paper of archival quality (ie it will last for years and years!)
