The Shadow Passeth When the Tree Shall Fall
EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Poetic and Illustrative Exploration of Love, Death, and Transcendence This evocative illustration by Florence Harrison, titled "The Shadow Passeth When the Tree Shall Fall," is a captivating visual companion to Alfred Lord Tennyson's poem, "Love and Death." Created around 1920, this exquisite work of art invites us to ponder the intricate relationship between love, life, and the inexorable passage of time. In the image, we see a majestic tree, its branches reaching towards the heavens, casting a long, ominous shadow on the ground below. The tree's trunk is adorned with intricate, ethereal blossoms, symbolizing the beauty and ephemeral nature of life. At the base of the tree, the Grim Reaper, personified as a skeletal figure with a scythe, stands watchfully, his presence a stark reminder of the inevitability of death. Suspended in the air above the scene, an angel, winged and holy, gazes down upon the tableau with a gentle expression. The angel's outstretched wings form a protective canopy, shielding the viewer from the grim reality below. The angel's presence offers a glimmer of hope, suggesting that even in the face of death, there is a transcendent force that endures. Tennyson's poem, "Love and Death," explores the complexities of human emotion and the human condition, delving into the depths of love, loss, and the passage from life to death. Harrison's illustration, with its intricate symbolism and haunting beauty, serves as a visual complement to the poem, inviting us to reflect on the eternal questions of love, death, and the human spirit. This illustration, with its rich mythological and fantastical elements, is a testament to Harrison's artistic skill and her ability to bring Tennyson's words to life. The image transcends the boundaries of time and space, inviting us to explore the depths of our own emotions and the mysteries of the universe.
