Prompt:
Masterpiece, a full-screen, multi-block linocut print in a broad format, illustrating the poem of profound sorrow and enduring tears. The scene is a painstakingly detailed, symbolic depiction of a grief so deep it outlasts the will to live. A solitary figure, their form etched with the heavy, downward-slanting hatch marks of despair, kneels in a desolate interior. Their face is buried in their hands, but from between their fingers, a cascade of tears falls. These tears are not subtle; they are rendered as a powerful, vertical stream of solid, glossy white ink, cutting starkly through the muted, shadowy tones of their robes and the surroundings. This relentless stream of tears pools on the floor, not as a still puddle, but as a chaotic, churning whirlpool of carved lines, symbolizing the overwhelming and consuming nature of the pain. The figure's body language and the forceful, graphic representation of their weeping convey a misery that is both internal and violently expressed.
The background is a void of deep, textured black, from which faint, ghostly impressions of happier memories seem to fade, carved with faint, broken lines that are being swallowed by the darkness. This contrast emphasizes the isolation and the totality of their present sorrow. The overall mood is one of unbearable, enduring grief, where life persists but is defined by an unendurable flow of tears. This is achieved through a masterful interplay of intricate detail, stark symbolic contrast, and the raw, textured beauty of the linocut medium.
