1884 Acadian Darley Death Death Bed Henry Longfellow Poem Wadsworth Evangeline Grieving
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print captures a poignant moment from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's renowned poem, Evangeline. The wood engraving by F. O. C. Darley, created in 1884, beautifully depicts the emotional scene of a grieving woman on her deathbed. In this illustration, we see Evangeline, the protagonist of the poem, bowing down meekly with her hands clasped together in prayer. Her face is filled with sorrow and acceptance as she murmurs words of gratitude to her heavenly Father for all that she has experienced throughout her life. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of the engraving. From the delicate folds of Evangeline's nun attire to the intricate patterns etched into the wooden furniture surrounding her bed, each element contributes to creating an atmosphere of solemnity and introspection. Longfellow's powerful narrative tells the story of Acadian lovers separated during their forced exile from Nova Scotia. Through his poetic verses, he explores themes such as love, loss, resilience, and faith - all captured within this single image. Displayed against a backdrop reminiscent of late 19th-century America, this wood engraving serves as a timeless reminder of human emotions transcending time and place. It invites viewers to reflect upon their own journeys through life while appreciating both Longfellow's masterful storytelling and Darley's artistic interpretation.
