EDITORS COMMENTS
Break, Break, Break" is a moving and evocative poem by Alfred, Lord Tennyson, published in 1842. This beautiful illustration by Florence Harrison, created around 1920, brings the poem to life in a stunning visual representation. The image captures the essence of the poem's themes of longing, loss, and the passage of time. The scene is set on a desolate, rocky coastline, where a pensive woman sits, wrapped in a shawl, gazing out at the relentless waves crashing against the cliffs. The rough, windy weather adds to the moody and atmospheric scene, with the cold, winter air making the woman's breath visible in the crisp air. The stormy sky overhead completes the sense of melancholy and introspection. The title of the poem, "Break, Break, Break," is echoed in the image through the repetition of the breaking waves and the shattered rocks beneath the woman's feet. The poem's opening lines, "I hear it in the deep heart's core / Ample for all time," are reflected in the woman's thoughtful expression and her deep connection to the natural world around her. Florence Harrison's illustration is a testament to the power of poetry to inspire art and to transport us to another time and place. The image invites us to contemplate the beauty and sadness of the natural world, and to reflect on the human condition and the universal themes of longing, loss, and the passage of time. This atmospheric and moody illustration is a must-have for anyone who loves poetry, the natural world, or the Victorian era. It is a beautiful and thought-provoking addition to any home or office, and a reminder of the enduring power of the written word to move and inspire us.
