Sister Anysia Keating was one of the original Sisters who came to the College in late 1904 to serve as faculty members for the first students arriving in early 1905. She was dispatched with two other sisters to Europe (1908-1910) to study and copy Renaissance paintings. In that short time, they produced a prodigious body of work -- more than 300 finished pictures -- mostly copies of old masters, which became a valuable teaching tool for the fine arts, and a significant number were sold to generate funds for the College.
| 
More than a year of Keating's study was spent in Florence and she fell in love with the Tuscan countryside. These influences converge in Sister Anysia's whimsical interpretation of Highland Park, with the tower of Our Lady of Victory Chapel, the Highland Water Tower,
and Sister Anysia's cherished memories of Tuscan villages.

This One Heart Shaken It was only my own voice that I had heard,
but at first I did not know it for my own.
Although my lips had formed no single word,
and the voice seemed one that I had never known,
still it was mine. I knew that it must be:
this secret voice that I had not surmised,
this cry flung from the unsuspected sea
of loneliness by which I was surprised.
It was as though my other selves came thronging
to see this wonder washed up on the shore,
this one, heart-shaken with immortal longing,
that must possess its life forever more.
And over and over again one cry she made:
'I'm afraid of silence. I am afraid." | THE COLLECTED POEMS
of SISTER ALICE GUSTAVA SMITH, C.S.J.
Delight and inspire yourself or anyone you know who enjoys the music of words and thought -- or who knew Sister Alice Smith! This hardcover book of poetry may be purchased from the Alumnae Association for $10. Proceeds go to support the Alumnae Association. |
