EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of melancholy and introspection, as depicted in Edmund Dulac's illustration from "The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam". Published in 1909, this artwork beautifully portrays the profound words of Persian poet Omar Khayyam. The image showcases a man and his young daughter, both deep in slumber, surrounded by an ethereal landscape. In this poignant scene, we witness the fragility of human existence against the vastness of the sky. The inverted bowl symbolizes our limited perspective on life's mysteries and our futile attempts to seek solace or assistance from it. As we crawl through our lives within this cosmic coop, we are reminded that even the heavens themselves roll impotently like us mortals. The muted colors evoke a sense of somberness and contemplation while highlighting the emotional weight carried by these two figures. The father's expression reveals sorrowful resignation while cradling his sleeping daughter who represents innocence amidst life's transience. Hilary Jane Morgan skillfully brings together elements of color, composition, and emotion to create a thought-provoking visual narrative. This evocative piece invites viewers to reflect upon their own mortality and contemplate humanity's place within an ever-changing world
