Inspired by the Thomas Hardy poem, Transformations, Eliza Marshall unveils her debut solo album Eternal Birth - a celebration of life’s cycles and continuity: from conception to death, through nature, ancestry, and renewal. The album reveres the natural world as a living archive of our ancestors, expressing the unseen but powerful bonds we share with the Earth, with those who came before us, and the new generations we leave it to.
Transformations - Thomas Hardy
Portion of this yew
Is a man my grandsire knew,
Bosomed here at its foot:
This branch may be his wife,
A ruddy human life
Now turned to a green shoot.
These grasses must be made
Of her who often prayed,
Last century, for repose;
And the fair girl long ago
Whom I often tried to know
May be entering this rose.
So, they are not underground,
But as nerves and veins abound
In the growths of upper air,
And they feel the sun and rain,
And the energy again
That made them what they were!
