７，亚瑟•休斯　（Arthur Hughes　1832-1915)
亚瑟•休斯是一位拉斐尔前派的美术家。
有人曾这样评价他的画：”the knife-edge between sentiment and sentimentality” 但因为明亮的用色和细致的细节，休斯的作品并不显得感伤。 他也是一个十分活跃的插画家。

Ophelia 　　　奥菲利娅
Painting Date: 1851-53
Medium: Oil on canvas

休斯笔下的奥菲利娅纤弱优美,宛若林泽女神.

画框上有这样的题诗：
‘There is a willow grows aslant the brook,
That shows his hoar leaves in the glassy stream;
There with fantastic garlands did she come.
Of crow-flowers, nettles, daisies, and long purples.
There on the pendant boughs her coronet weeds
Clambering to hang an envious sliver broke.
When down the weedy trophies and herself
Fell in the weeping brook.’

1856年此画展出时附有丁尼生（Tennyson）的磨坊主的女儿（The Miller’s Daughter）中的诗句作为注释：

‘Love is hurt with jar and fret.
Love is made a vague regret;
Eyes with idle tears are wet,
Idle habit links us yet.
What is love? for we forget:
Ah, no! no!’
“相当优雅，可爱的色彩。少女颤抖的嘴唇，甜美温柔的脸，犹豫不决的姿态，就像在风中颤抖的树叶上的一滴剔透的露珠。”(引自Academy Notes, 1856, 14.68).

休斯描述奥菲利娅临死前，她正接近湖面，回眸张望，唱着她的最后一支歌：
‘Ophelia (sings)
And will he not come again?
And will he not come again?
No, no he is dead
Go to thy death-bed
He never will come again.
His beard was as white as snow,
All flaxen was his poll:
He is gone, he is gone,
And we cast away moan;
Gramercy on his soul!
And of all Christian souls, I pray God –
God be wi’ you.
Exit’.

‘The clouds are broken in the sky,
And thro’ the mountain-walls,
A rolling organ-harmony
Swells up, and shakes and falls,
Then move the trees, the copses nod,
Wings flutter, voices hover clear:
Oh just and faithful knight of God!
Ride on: the prize is near.
So pass I hostel, hall, and grange;
By bridge and ford, by park and pale,
All-arm’d I ride, whate’er betide,
Until I find the holy Grail’.
….
A gentle sound, an awful sight!
Three angels bear the holy grail:
With folded feet, in stoles of white,
On sleeping wings they sail.’
