Plaited Filigree
December 8th, 2010
I have been wondering how to interpet this poem…?
The Bride
D.H Lawrence
My love looks like a girl to-night,
But she is old.
The plaits that lie along her pillow
Are not gold,
But threaded with filigree,
And uncanny cold.
She looks like a young maiden, since her brow
Is smooth and fair,
Her cheeks are very smooth, her eyes are closed,
She sleeps a rare
Still winsome sleep, so still, and so composed.
Nay, but she sleeps like a bride, and dreams her dreams
Of perfect things.
She lies at last, the darling, in the shape of her dream,
And her dead mouth sings
By its shape, like the thrushes in clear evenings.
a man who so loved his wife when she was young and even in old age, like the thrushes that sing to the angels, so must she sing. knowing some DH Lawrence i would say the husband dressed her up. the plaits are her long braids across her pillow….
Exodus 28 (with text – press on more info. of video on the side)

Filigree $81.25 Filigree (formerly written filigrann or filigrane; also known as telkari, the name given in Anatolia, meaning wire work, and ciftisi, pronounced chiftishi, meaning tweezers work ) is a jewel work of a delicate kind made with twisted threads usually of gold and silver or stitching of the same curvy motif. It oftens suggests lace, and is most popular in French fashion decoration from 1660 to the present. It is now exceedingly common for ajoure jewellery work to be mislabelled as filigree. While both have many open areas, filigree involves threads being soldered together to form an object and ajoure involves holes being punched, drilled, or cut through an existing piece of metal. The word, which is usually derived from the Latin filum, thread, and granum, grain, is not found in Ducange, and is indeed of modern origin. According to Prof. Skeat it is derived from the Spanish filigrana, from filar, to spin, and grano, the grain or principal fibre of the material.
