詩人の執筆机 - Poet's writing desk

In the corner of a small study, against the wall, sits an old, half-closed writing desk. Made of mahogany, the desk's surface has a patina from years of use and several small drawers. The top is open, and the inside is lined with green leather, but it's worn and the base is visible. A fountain pen lies uncapped on the desk, with some ink seeping from the nib. Thick, cream-colored letter paper is stacked on top, and on the top one is a stanza of poetry written in flowing cursive. The ink is a deep indigo blue, with subtle variations in the thickness of the letters. A used wax sealer sits next to a lump of red wax, and a brass sealing stamp. A small glass ink bottle has about a quarter of its ink remaining. A stack of old letters protrudes from a drawer, tied with a ribbon. The letter envelopes are yellowed and have old stamps attached. Framed pressed flowers hang on the wall, the inside of the glass slightly cloudy. A soft afternoon light streams in at an angle through the window, casting long shadows on the desk's surface. The colors are mahogany red, deep green, cream, indigo, and sepia. The shot is a medium shot from a side angle, revealing the desk in its entirety and part of the wall. This is a portrait of the world of Romantic literature, the intimacy of letter writing, nostalgia for a bygone era, and the quiet joy of creation.
