The Making of a Family Portrait
by Ruth MacQuade
It was to be a festive affair. Making a family portrait at the Greenbrier Resort. Painted by the famous portraiture artist W.H. Anderson, who, before us, painted the portraits of Jimmy Carter and Richard Nixon.
Preparations for the portrait were hectic. The girls needed permanents and matching dresses. the boys, starched white shirts, Mother, a new dress, Daddy, a new suit
Designed by my father, it was to be a symmetrical portrait. The older children to be shown in four sets of three. The youngest girl in the center, between my mother and father, and the two youngest boys, at the bottom, facing each other.
Finished, the large 5-foot square family portrait hung on the wall of my parents’ living room. Proudly shown to anyone who wanted to see the number of happy and healthy children my father sired and my mother reared.
But hidden behind the smiles are the fearful face of my mother in the presence of my father, the wincing faces of children caused by the belt lashing of their father, and the sad faces of two brothers who died by suicide.

Monet's Water Lilies
by Robert Hayden
Today as the news from Selma and Saigon poisons the air like fallout, I come again to see the serene, great picture that I love. Here space and time exist in light the eye like the eye of faith believes. The seen, the known dissolve in iridescence, become illusive flesh of light that was not, was, forever is. O light beheld as through refracting tears. Here is the aura of that world each of us has lost. Here is the shadow of its joy.
