None So Deaf as Those Who Won't Hear
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and enigmatic image from the late 19th century, created after a painting by English artist Edmund Blair Leighton. The title of the work is derived from an old proverb, which serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of open communication and understanding in relationships. The photograph, published in "The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper" in 1890, depicts a romantic scene of a courting couple on the banks of a tranquil river. The man, dressed in the fashionable attire of the Victorian era, is shown rowing a small boat towards the woman, who stands on the shore, gazing intently into the distance. The ferryman, who operates the nearby boat service, looks on admiringly from the background, a knowing smile playing on his lips. The woman appears to be lost in thought, seemingly oblivious to the admiring glances of both the man and the ferryman. The man, in turn, is undeterred by her apparent indifference and continues to row towards her, his determination unwavering. The scene is a beautiful representation of the persistence and patience required in the pursuit of love, as well as the complexities and nuances of human emotions. The photograph, with its timeless and evocative imagery, transports us back to a bygone era, inviting us to ponder the depths of human emotion and the power of unspoken words. The use of black and white adds to the nostalgic and romantic atmosphere, making it a truly captivating and enduring work of art. Despite the uncertainty surrounding the identity of the photographer, this photograph remains a testament to the enduring power of love and the human spirit. It is a reminder that sometimes, the most profound messages are those that are left unsaid, and that the most deaf among us are those who refuse to listen.
