The Year of the Poets -- Four Seasons
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a beautiful and ornate print from the early Victorian era, showcasing the profound connection between nature and poetry. Dated back to 1845, this print invites us to explore the poetic expressions of four distinct seasons through the words of renowned English poets. In the foreground, a man and a woman, dressed in Victorian attire, sit on a wooden bench, engrossed in a book. Their attentive gaze is directed towards the intricately designed border that frames the seasons' scenes. Surrounding them are four children, each representing a season, who playfully interact with the natural elements. Spring is depicted with a young boy, who delights in the blooming flowers and newfound warmth. He is surrounded by a riot of colors, with tulips, daffodils, and other springtime blossoms adorning the scene. The poetic quote from William Wordsworth, "I wandered lonely as a cloud," is inscribed at the top of the spring section. Summer is represented by a woman, who reclines on a blanket, surrounded by sunflowers and children playing in the water. The quote from John Keats, "A thing of beauty is a joy forever," is inscribed at the top of the summer section. Autumn is depicted by a man, who stands amongst the falling leaves, with a melancholic expression. The quote from John Donne, "No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace as I have seen in one autumnal face," is inscribed at the top of the autumn section. Winter is represented by a child, who plays in the snow, with a roaring fire in the background. The quote from Robert Frost, "In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on," is inscribed at the top of the winter section. This exquisite print is a testament to the enduring beauty of nature and the power of poetry to capture its essence. It invites us to reflect on the changing seasons and the profound impact they have on our lives.
