The Sheep of His Pasture
From The Carfax Portfolio 1904.
The composition is very close to that of cut number VIII of Blake’s Virgil series. Yet the work has a character and strength of its own. It is another instance of Calvert’s mystical view of a lush and cornucopian nature, as much pagan as Christian.
This pastoral might as well have come from Virgil’s Eclogues as from the Twenty-third Psalm; it could be a paean of praise to Demeter as much as to Christ.
