"Oliver Goldsmith: A Poetic Journey Through The Deserted Village" Step into the enchanting world of Oliver Goldsmith's "The Deserted Village, " brought to life in vivid illustrations. In this captivating colour litho, immerse yourself in the imagery that accompanies Goldsmith's timeless words. As you gaze upon the illustration, let your eyes wander over the cooling brook and grassy-vested green. Notice how even nature seems abandoned, as silent bats cling to matted woods where birds have forgotten to sing. In another scene, a woman leaves behind her humble country life, symbolized by her wheel and robes of brown, and is a poignant reminder of those who must seek better opportunities beyond their familiar surroundings. Goldsmith's poem also sheds light on poverty's plight – where can it find solace? Near yonder thorn stands a signpost that once caught passersby's attention. Now deserted, it serves as a haunting reminder of what was lost. But amidst despair lies wonderment. Behold an image that captures the essence himself – his small head carrying all he knew. His insatiable thirst for knowledge shines through every line he penned. A beggar with a long beard graces another litho; his presence evokes compassion and empathy for those less fortunate. His visit to Goldsmith becomes an unforgettable encounter etched in memory forever. Within this village lie hidden gems like the modest mansion of the village preacher - a beacon of hope and solace amidst desolation. Its few torn shrubs reveal tales untold but worth discovering within its walls. Lastly, witness heart-wrenching scenes as mothers bid farewell to their innocent babes with tears streaming down their faces. Their sorrow only intensifies their love for these precious children they hold so close. Oliver Goldsmith takes us on an emotional journey through "The Deserted Village.
