The South Wind

Description

in the faery tale East of the sun West of the Moon, the heroine has to travel to see each of the 4 winds, to help her find her love.
i decided to personify each of the four winds based off of the animal guardians of the 4 cardinal directions from chinese mythology

this is the south wind. it's actually the third wind she goes to visit. but i don't have the west wind done yet.

I am enjoying this collection; they're all interesting collections.

There's a poem I like that uses similar personifications:


Sara Teasdale

"Four Winds"


"Four winds blowing through the sky,
You have seen poor maidens die,
Tell me then what I shall do
That my lover may be true."
Said the wind from out the south,
"Lay no kiss upon his mouth,"
And the wind from out the west,
"Wound the heart within his breast,"
And the wind from out the east,
"Send him empty from the feast,"
And the wind from out the north,
"In the tempest thrust him forth;
When thou art more cruel than he,
Then will Love be kind to thee."
