    /// Her farms’ wells had run totally dry.

    She’d been told she should come here to buy

    jugs of pure mountain waters

    from a gal with six daughters.

    They’re not here, and she may start to cry.

    /// She peers into the distance, bereft.

    Needs to buy all the jugs she can heft.

    Sights, beyond border barriers,

    The (far-off) Water Carriers

    who’d poured out all their jugs here, and left.

    Rachel had always been the high school drama queen. Even now she wanted to be the center of attention. No one liked Rachel…not really.

    The Water Carriers

    Paste (including the quote marks) 

    "Category:Paintings by Daniel Ridgway Knight" site=commons.wikimedia.org 

    (syntax supported by the Google, Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, and Ecosia search engines) in the browser address bar (or search for it using one of those search engines) and choose the first Category: found and once there find the text string Carriers, and click its link for info and links that point to more info about this roughly B4 paper size painting.

     

    Again, a larger strip image is shown by (Ctrl- or right-) clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #3098 (March 17, 2023) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment, and using the dropdown menu (even larger, if you trim what’s after .png from the URL). I have added a comment there pointing to the blog entry with my comment pointing to info about this artist I used to point to here. So far, 8 works by this artist have been used here, the March 15, 2023, strip bring the prior.

    /// She peered into the distance to track

    the dark cloud from a vessel’s smokestack.

    Her man left with the tide.

    As she watched it, she cried.

    Her love— unlike high tide— won’t be back.
