Description
Toiling,—rejoicing,—sorrowing,
Onward through life he goes;
Each morning sees some task begin,
Each evening sees it close;
Something attempted, something done.
Has earned a night’s repose.
Thanks, thanks to thee, my worthy friend,
For the lesson thou hast taught!
Thus at the flaming forge of life
Our fortunes must be wrought;
Thus on its sounding anvil shaped
Each burning deed and thought.
From the poem The Village Blacksmith by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
The man in the picture is a farmhand who is welding a broken part on this combine used to harvest peanuts. The welder is the modern day blacksmith.

I like this. It reminds me the great murals that were painted as public works projects during the depression by artist like Weinhold Reiss. I think that is his name. He created the murals in Cincinnati's Union Terminal.

William, there are so few professions in the modern world where you see the job through from beginning to end, which gives a great deal of satisfaction. We are now often just a cog in the larger wheel of production. Artists, of course, are privileged in this respect, and your farmer/welder is as well. Nice shot! Enjoyed the quote as well. v
William Fields replied:
Cheri, you really nailed it. The ability to be involved in every aspect of the work from conception to execution is a hugely satisfying part of being an artist and I'm convinced that farmers share that feeling. Thanks so much for your always thoughtful comments. You have added something special to today.
