EDITORS COMMENTS
A Captivating Moment of Frozen Joy: The Allure of Skating as Depicted in Florence Hardy's Poem and a Timeless Image Amidst the tranquil winter landscape, a solitary skater glides effortlessly across the frozen expanse, leaving a trail of sparkling crystals in her wake. The enchanting scene, captured in this beautiful photograph from Mary Evans Prints Online, evokes a sense of nostalgia and wonder, transporting us back to a simpler time. As the skater gracefully moves across the ice, her breath visible in the crisp air, she beckons to her friends, inviting them to join her in the delightful experience of skating. This moment is reminiscent of the captivating poem 'Away away, come follow me!' by Florence Hardy, which perfectly encapsulates the allure of the frozen landscape and the joy of skating. The poem, penned in the late 19th century, paints a vivid picture of the North wind's magic, as it transforms the landscape into a skating rink, where 'the merry skaters be.' Hardy's words resonate with the charm of the photograph, as both the image and the poem celebrate the simple pleasure of skating and the beauty of the winter season. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of the rich history of skating and the enduring appeal of this winter pastime. The image serves as a testament to the timeless joy that can be found in the simple act of gliding across the ice, surrounded by the beauty of nature. So, let us be inspired by the skater's invitation and follow in her footsteps, embracing the magic of the winter season and the joy of skating.
