“In youth I have known one with whom the Earth
In secret communing held - as he with it,
In daylight, and in beauty, from his birth:
Whose fervid, flickering torch of life was lit
From the sun and stars, whence he had drawn forth
A passionate light - such for his spirit was fit -
And yet that spirit knew - not in the hour
Of its own fervour - what had o'er it power.”
poem by Edgar Allan Poe
Photographer Andrea Spotorno draws inspiration from the above poem for an editorial in a recent 2010 issue of 10 Men magazine with models Anthon Wellsjo, Matvey Lykov, Nicolas Ripoll and others.
