EDITORS COMMENTS
This hauntingly beautiful print captures the serene and melancholic atmosphere of The Grave, We Are Seven, located in St Mary's Churchyard in Conwy, Wales. The ancient churchyard is shrouded in a veil of mist, adding to its ethereal charm.
The image evokes the timeless poem by William Wordsworth, written in 1798, which reflects on the innocence and wisdom of childhood as well as the inevitability of death. The juxtaposition of life and death is palpable in this scene - the lush green grass contrasting with the solemn gravestones standing as silent sentinels.
As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time from around 1910, we are transported back to an era when romantic poets like Wordsworth roamed these hallowed grounds seeking inspiration for their immortal verses. The legacy of these poets lives on through their words that continue to resonate with readers centuries later.
In capturing this moment on film, photographer TW Dennis has preserved a piece of history that speaks to our shared humanity and mortality. It serves as a poignant reminder that even though time may pass and memories fade, the beauty found within these sacred spaces endures forever.
