books0977:

Distant Thoughts (A young woman reading by the sea), 1892. Arthur Hopkins, RWS, RBC (British, 1848-1930). Watercolour.

Hopkins’ genre scenes of country life are in much the style of Helen Patterson Allingham. He was a member of the rising generation of illustrators influenced by du Maurier and William Small, and, as Forrest Reid remarks, was “a good draughtsman,” with “a strong dramatic sense, to which is added a sense of character.”

soyouthinkyoucansee:

There is another sky,

Ever serene and fair,

And there is another sunshine,

Though it be darkness there;

Never mind faded forest, Austin,

Never mind silent fields -

Here is a silent forest,

Whose leaf is ever green;

Where not a frost has been;

In it’s unfading flowers

I hear the bright bee hum;

Prithee, my brother,

In My garden come!

Emily Dickinson 1851
