The Gay Goshawk
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating British ballad that tells the tale of a passionate Scottish love story, as depicted in this evocative print from Mary Evans Prints Online. The image captures a poignant moment in the narrative, as a Scottish squire, desperate to communicate his love to his beloved despite disapproval from her father, sends letters by an unlikely messenger - a goshawk. The squire's window, framed by the print, serves as a symbol of longing and separation, as he pens heartfelt messages to his lover, his words carried through the air by the majestic bird. The goshawk, with its fierce gaze and outstretched wings, represents the lengths the squire will go to in order to bridge the gap between them. The ballad takes a dramatic turn when the lover, tired of waiting and desperate to be reunited with her true love, takes matters into her own hands. She tricks her father by feigning her own death, using a sleeping potion to induce a deep slumber. Her body is then transported to Scotland, where she has agreed to be buried, allowing her and the squire to finally be together. This historical tale of love, trickery, and determination resonates deeply, transporting us back to a time when passion knew no bounds and the power of communication was a matter of life and death. The print, with its intricate details and rich colors, captures the essence of this timeless story, inviting us to delve deeper into the pages of history and explore the depths of human emotion.
