About the Angel

The angel you saw in the previous post is the “Angel of Grief” and stands in the cemetery behind the historic Old Ship Church in Hingham, MA - I'm pretty sure.  I can't find the site where I pulled the pic from (probably should have credited it).

There are various "Grieving Angels" around the world - the original being in Rome, Italy and is over the tomb of Emelyn Story.  It's a 1894 sculpture by William Wetmore Story, Emelyns husband.  It's found in the Protestant Cemetery, tucked up against the Aurelianic Wall near the Piramide Metro station.   I haven't been there myself.

There's good reason why there are several replicas.  And I don't think I need to explain why. 

We all feel it.
