''A Fairy Tale - 'All seemed to sleep, the timid hare on form' - Scott.'' 1895 Arthur Wardle This painting depicts a scene from "The Bridal of Triermain" (1813) by Sir Walter Scott: All seem'd to sleep – the timid hare On form, the stag upon his lair, The eagle in her eyrie fair Between the earth and sky. But what of pictured rich and rare Could win De Vaux's eye-glance, where, Deep slumbering in the fatal chair, He saw King Arthur's child! Doubt, and anger, and dismay, From her brow had pass'd away, Forgot was that fell tourney-day, For, as she slept, she smiled: It seem'd, that the repentant Seer Her sleep of many a hundred year With gentle dreams beguiled. ___
