This 1.5" wider-than-legal-size-paper painting is oil on panel. Its title comes from a poem by Tennyson.

A Search for this artist still only finds 20 works, this time dropping this, in addition to the two mentioned earlier, from the list.

/// This depiction of painter and girlie
shows a scene from The (verse) Lord of Burleigh.
In the poem I read
he proposed and they wed,
but, the sad part is that she dies early.

/// In what Tennyson penned, the new bride
learns her artist’s far more than implied.
This “plain” man she adored
was a great wealthy Lord.
She was shocked; in a few years she died.

/// She had never been raised to assume
she deserved such a powerful groom.
She believed that her lover
was too high up above her.
Her fate? Leave great estates for a tomb.

/// No fairy-tale “Happ’ly E’er After,”
this tale ends in tears, and not laughter.
A sad shy brainwashed lass
too concerned with her “class.”
(If you think Meghan’s daft— this girl’s dafter.)

/// In this dark, dreary season I find
that depression takes grip of one’s mind.
Skip that Tennyson verse
lest your affect grows worse.
Don’t exacerbate. (You could go blind!)

Bret Harte:
/// … If, of all words of tongue and pen,
The saddest are, “It might have been,”
More sad are these we daily see:
“It is, but hadn’t ought to be.”
