EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "And there upon the ground I sit. . . 1878" by Constance Phillott takes us back to a serene moment in time. The image depicts a young girl sitting on the ground in a churchyard, surrounded by gravestones and nature's beauty. Her innocent presence is both haunting and peaceful. The photograph serves as an illustration for William Wordsworth's poem "We Are Seven" adding depth to the visual narrative. The child, engrossed in her thoughts, holds a bowl or porringer in her hands, perhaps symbolizing her connection to the past or contemplation of life's mysteries. The composition exudes a romantic aura with its soft focus and delicate brushstrokes on paper. It transports viewers into a realm where literature intertwines with art, inviting them to explore their own emotions and reflections. Through this artwork, Phillott captures the essence of childhood innocence amidst mortality. The juxtaposition of youth against the backdrop of graveyards reminds us that life is transient yet interconnected through generations. This intriguing piece invites us to ponder our place within history while appreciating the simple joys found even among somber surroundings. It serves as a poignant reminder that poetry can be found not only in words but also within evocative imagery like this timeless photograph.
