Poussin's Grave

Nicolas Poussin (15 June 1594 – 19 November 1665) was a French painter in the classical style. His painting "Et in Arcadia ego" was featured in the book, "Holy Blood, Holy Grail" - the tale of which was so interesting that it inspired The Gothic Gourmet to write this poem. "Poussin's Grave" is a doomy poem and as such seemed especially fitted for a doom piece of music though in its original context it fits securely in the Classical style much like the painter himself. "Poussin's Grave" was read in grim voice by The Gothic Gourmet. Music was written and performed by Patrick Golden.
