Nathaniel Hawthorne's haunting allegory from Twice-Told Tales (1837), suggested by an anecdote of Gilbert Stuart. A European master painter arrives in colonial Boston with a gift few have understood — he paints not faces, but souls. The young lovers Walter Ludlow and Elinor sit for their portraits on the eve of their wedding, eager to leave likenesses for posterity. The artist works in silent intensity, his keen eye penetrating beneath the surface, and when the canvases are revealed, the lovers see something more than themselves: Elinor's face shadowed with quiet anguish, Walter's marked by a fitful, smoldering wildness. A secret crayon sketch hidden among studio drawings shows two figures, and a knife. Years later, when the painter returns from wandering among Indian villages and the Crystal Hills, he finds the prophecy ripening. Hawthorne weaves Mosaic law, Salem witch-time superstition, and the artist's solitary ambition into a meditation on whether knowing our fate can ever turn us aside from it.
