Artist's Description
A throng of bearded men, in sad-colored garments and gray, steeple-crowned hats, intermixed with women, some wearing hoods, and others bareheaded, was assembled in front of a wooden edifice, the door of which was heavily timbered with oak, and studded with iron spikes.
Before this ugly edifice, and between it and the wheel-track of the street, was a grass-plot, much overgrown with burdock, pig-weed, apple-peru, and such unsightly vegetation, which evidently found something congenial in the soil that had so early borne the black flower of civilized society, a prison.

William, a fine montage of Hawthorne's thoughts to accompany this lovely rose portrait!

Thanks Cheri. I found Hawthorne's metaphor inspiring and was pleased to find it as a way to set this picture apart.
