"Labor and the Angel" by Duncan Campbell Scott is a collection of poems published during the late 19th century. This work explores themes of labor, love, and the human condition, capturing the intricate relationship between work and devotion to the ideals of love and perseverance. The poems reflect the era's growing interest in social issues and the emotional complexities surrounding daily life. The title poem, "Labor and the Angel," sets the stage by presenting a vivid allegory of labor personified by a blind man and a guiding woman, symbolizing the nurturing presence of love that sustains effort and hard work. The poem emphasizes the duality of suffering and hope, portraying the angel as a guardian of the laborers’ hearts amidst their struggles. Through other poems in the collection, Scott delves into the cycles of nature, seasonal changes, and the deep emotional ties of human relationships. The imagery paints a rich tapestry of feelings, from joy and love to sorrow and unfulfilled desires, ultimately capturing the essence of humanity's relentless pursuit of meaning against the backdrop of life's challenges.
