The Village Blacksmith by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow 1842
|
Under a spreading chestnut-tree
The village smithy stands;
The smith, a mighty man is he,
With large and sinewy hands;
And the muscles of his brawny arms
Are strong as iron bands.
His hair is crisp, and black, and long,
His face is like the tan;
His brow is wet with honest sweat,
He earns whate'er he can,
And looks the whole world in the face,
For he owes not any man.
Week in, week out, from morn till night,
You can hear his bellows blow;
You can hear him swing his heavy sledge,
With measured beat and slow,
Like a sexton ringing the village bell,
When the evening sun is low.
|
And children coming home from school
Look in at the open door;
They love to see the flaming forge,
And bear the bellows roar,
And catch the burning sparks that fly
Like chaff from a threshing-floor.
He goes on Sunday to the church,
And sits among his boys;
He hears the parson pray and preach,
He hears his daughter's voice,
Singing in the village choir,
And it makes his heart rejoice.
It sounds to him like her mother's voice,
Singing in Paradise!
He needs must think of her once more,
How in the grave she lies;
And with his haul, rough hand he wipes
A tear out of his eyes.
|
Toiling,--rejoicing,--sorrowing,
Onward through life he goes;
Each morning sees some task begin,
Each evening sees it close
Something attempted, something done,
Has earned a night's repose.
Thanks, thanks to thee, my worthy friend,
For the lesson thou hast taught!
Thus at the flaming forge of life
Our fortunes must be wrought;
Thus on its sounding anvil shaped
Each burning deed and thought.

Passion & Patience by John Sargent Noble
I am excited to announce that this beautiful John Sargent
Noble print is now available only through Hoofprints. I saw
this painting in a magazine article 16 years ago. I have tried
since then to find prints of it. To my knowledge, no prints
are available (until now) and I have purchased the rights to
reproduce this amazing painting so that farrier art collectors
everywhere can enjoy it!
I am supervising the printing so that we get the best possible
colors, and sharp clean detail on premium quality paper. This
picture certainly fits it's title "Passion & Patience". Every
farrier that I know has found him or herself in this
situation. The details in this picture are wonderful; you can
see many tools very clearly, right down to the bone-handled
hoof knife in the farrier's hand. A variety of shoes are
scattered around and hanging on the wall. You can see the toe
clips, creases, heel calks etc. Even the bent nails on the
shoes that have been pulled off and the shavings of hoof on
the floor.
The picture has so much energy, so much going on. The tension
between the farrier and horse is obvious, and on further study
one notices the expression on the little dog; he knows
something is about to happen. In the middle of all this
action, the bay horse appears to be sleeping! The contrast in
structure of the two horses; a fine boned hot-blood and a
heavy cold-blood is apparent. John Sargent Noble was a painter
who truly knew his subject.
