A winter country village with a church spire rising over the trees with a quote from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow: "I hears the bells on Christmas Day Their old familiar carols play And wild and sweet, the words repeat Of peace on earth, good will to men."

"The spirit-world around this world of sense
Floats like an atmosphere, and everywhere
Wafts through these earthly mists and vapours dense
A vital breath of more ethereal air."

The Tide Rises, the Tide Falls by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
The tide rises, the tide falls, The twilight darkens, the curlew calls; Along the sea-sands damp and brown The traveller hastens toward the town, And the tide rises, the tide falls. Darkness settles on roofs and walls, But the sea, the sea in the darkness calls; The little waves, with their soft, white hands, Efface the footprints in the sands, And the tide rises, the tide falls. The morning breaks; the steeds in their stalls Stamp and neigh, as the hostler calls; The day returns, but nevermore Returns the traveller to the shore, And the tide rises, the tide falls.

Kind hearts are the gardens, Kind thoughts are the roots, Kind words are the flowers, Kind deeds are the fruits, Take care of your garden And keep out the weeds, Fill it with
sunshine, Kind words, and Kind deeds.

The Arrow and the Song by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
I shot an arrow into the air, It fell to earth, I knew not where; For, so swiftly it flew, the sight Could not follow it in its flight. I breathed a song into the air, It fell to earth, I knew not where; For who has sight so keen and strong, That it can follow the flight of song? Long, long afterward, in an oak I found the arrow, still unbroke; And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.

Then read from the treasured volume
The poem of thy choice,
And lend to the rhyme of the poet
The beauty of thy voice.

The Quadroon Girl by Henry Mosler (German-American)- Oil on canvas / 1878 - Cincinnati Art Museum (Ohio) #womeninart #art #artwork #portraitofawoman #oilopainting #HenryMosler #Mosler #womensart #CincinnatiArtMuseum #fineart #abolitionist #poem #HenryWadsworthLongfellow #Longfellow #ArtText
German-born American artist Henry Mosler’s “The Quadroon Girl” depicts a Black woman with a lighter complexion posed in front of a pale gray background. She is turned slightly to the right and does not face the viewer. The woman has long black wavy hair that is parted in the middle and reaches down her back. Her face tilts to the right and is downturned. She appears to have a downcast expression on her face. A dangling gold earring peaks out from her hair. She is wearing a white garment wrapped around her chest; her shoulders are bare. She holds the fabric in place with bent arms and her hands cross over her chest. On her right wrist is a black manacle with a dangling chain. Her left elbow rests on a little-defined russet-colored piece of furniture. At the Paris Salon of 1878, this painting appeared alongside the following stanza of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s 1842 abolitionist poem, The Quadroon Girl: Her eyes were large, and full of light, Her arms and neck were bare; No garment she wore save a kirtle bright, And her own long, raven hair. A quadroon was a demeaning term for a person of one-quarter African descent and three-quarters white Euro-American. Longfellow’s poem, which tells the story of a Southern plantation owner who sold his own mixed-race daughter into bondage, expresses the cruel inhumanity of enslavement. Although we may surmise that Mosler opposed slavery, he was not a political artist. Literary themes were in vogue with the juries of the Salon, to whom he successfully presented this painting. To likely satisfy the taste of the privileged white male elite art establishment, he produced a romanticized and sensual portrait of Longfellow’s tragic heroine.
