Piety - Love - Sorrow, 1854. Creator: Unknown
Piety - Love - Sorrow, 1854. Pressing with reverend foot the hallowed sod, Thou tread'st the earth even as the sages trod, In the old favoured days, who walked with God! In ways where all sweet charities do meet, Thy steps are constant as the waves timed beat, And airs from heaven play about thy feet. As one for whom God's better light doth shine...Holy, and wondrous beautiful thou art, O strength of Love! Who is there that would part, With that best music of the beating heart? Thy sweetest tones may falter on the tongue; The chords may break that with thy strains have rung; But memory treasures all the soul hath sung...There is no death in all the world! O vain And idle fiction of the maddened brain! The buried rise - the death-struck live again! Why weep ye with dim eyes above the lost, They who the wider, calmer seas have crossed?'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854

Piety, Love, and Sorrow,
EDITORS COMMENTS
an enigmatic and evocative 19th century print, captures the essence of loss, love, and the enduring bond between a grieving mother and her child. The monochrome image, published in the Illustrated London News in 1854, portrays a demure woman in a flowing gown, kneeling at a grave adorned with wilting flowers. A small, cherubic child, dressed in white, clings to her, his tiny hand reaching out to press against the cold earth. A faithful dog, with its head bowed in sympathy, lies at their feet. The hauntingly beautiful verse that accompanies this print, penned by an unknown author, speaks to the eternal nature of love and the defiance of death. The mother, in her unwavering devotion, is likened to a saint, her steps as constant as the waves and the airs from heaven playing about her feet. The poet implores us to remember that there is no death, and the buried rise again. This poignant allegory touches upon the themes of piety, love, and sorrow, and the roles of motherhood, obedience, and grief. The print serves as a reminder of the enduring strength of love and the power of memory to keep the soul's sweetest tones alive. The image, with its idealized depiction of a loving mother and child, is a testament to the enduring power of this eternal bond. The print, a masterpiece of 19th century engraving, is a poignant reminder of the human condition and the eternal questions of love, loss, and the meaning of life. It is a powerful and moving work that continues to resonate with viewers, long after the final verse has been read.
