Up the Airy Mountain
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a traditional Irish nursery rhyme that has been enchanting children and adults alike for generations. This image is a beautiful representation of the poem's whimsical and imaginative spirit. The print, published in 1930 by J.M. Dent in The Land of Nursery Rhyme, invites us to join the journey of a young boy as he climbs up the airy mountain, following the trail of the moon, to meet the fairy folk. The illustration showcases the breathtaking beauty of the Irish countryside, with its lush green hills, clear blue skies, and the sun setting on the horizon. The boy, dressed in a red jacket and blue trousers, looks determined and excited as he climbs higher and higher, with the help of a white rabbit and a friendly fox. The fairies, depicted as tiny, winged beings, are gathered around a bonfire, welcoming the young adventurer with open arms. The rhyme's lyrics speak of the magical world that lies beyond the mundane, urging us to dream and explore. The final lines, "I heard him laughing, and looking around, / And saw him I saw him dancing: / He asked me to join him that night, / In the land where the bright foxes go dancing," evoke a sense of wonder and excitement that transcends the boundaries of the physical world. This print is a timeless treasure, a reminder of the power of imagination and the joy of discovery. It invites us to take a moment to escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and to explore the magical world that exists within us all. Whether you're a child or an adult, this image is sure to capture your heart and ignite your imagination.
