A Companion Print to
Little Women
Little Women is the cold and snowpacked setting for this vignette in which Beth is wrapped in the warmth of charity on an errand of mercy.
Behind the Scene
Charity comes in the cold white winter-scape of want when all the world of living things is naught but hope and memory.
All round the cheerless world is cold while charity, though wrapped betimes in darkness, is yet warm. Its way is certain and its steps are sure. Yet think on this; that looking on this scene your own feet seem to stand upon the way of charity. Who then gives and who receives?
Related Behind-the-scenes Commentaries
Charity was featured in the
November-December 2000 issue of The Storybook Home. In an article entitled “Charity : Threshold of the Heart,” Al Young talks about some of the significant aspects of the image. For example:
Charity, or help, generally comes when it’s dark, at least from the recipient’s point of view. I like to think that the cloak, whether because it is a cloak or because it’s black, represents the selflessness or anonymity surrounding genuine charity.
