This image features a poignant artwork that combines visual and textual elements to create a powerful tribute. At the center of the composition is a white bird, which appears to be a swan, outlined and contrasted against a dark, cloudy background created with black ink wash. The bird stands out with an orange beak and a serene demeanor. At the top of the image, the text begins with the phrase "I THINK CONTINUALLY OF THOSE WHO WERE TRULY GREAT" in a bold font, setting a reflective tone for the piece. Surrounding the bird, handwritten names of individuals spiral and weave through the dark background, suggesting a memorial or homage. Among these names, written in flowing, cursive script, are figures such as "Carole Robertson," "Addie Mae Collins," "Cynthia," and "Denise McNair," evoking a sense of remembrance. Below the bird, a poem by Stephen Spender is printed in a typewriter-like font, emphasizing themes of memory and honor: "I THINK CONTINUALLY OF THOSE WHO WERE TRULY GREAT, WHO FROM THE BLAZE OF THE LIGHT OF FIRES THE LIGHT IN THEIR TIME, WITH A PROUD WING, WHERE THE FIRES THAT BEGIIGHT THE GRAVE HAVE TURNED TO SOME PURER ELEVATION, AND WHO TRAVELLED A SHORT WHILE TOWARDS THE SUN, AND LEFT THE VIVID AIR SIGNED WITH THEIR HONOUR." Towards the bottom right corner, a red stamp resembling a seal and the name "Ben Shahn" appear, identifying the artist. The overall composition communicates a sense of solemn reflection, reverence, and continuity, paying respects to those who have passed and left a lasting impact.

This image features a piece of art that combines text and illustration. The illustration depicts what appears to be a black and white abstract image of a swan with a red-orange beak. The swan is facing the left side of the image, and its body and neck are stylized with flowing brushstrokes, giving the figure an elegant and dynamic appearance. Overlaying the illustration are handwritten texts in various scripts and orientations. At the top, the script runs in a dark hue across the swan's neck, whereas in the bottom half of the piece, the text is arranged in stanzas and printed in a clear, legible typeface. The text at the bottom is a poem that reads as follows: "NEAR THE SNOW, IN THE SUN, IN THE HIGHEST FIELDS SEE HOW THESE NAMES ARE FETED BY THE WAVING GRASS AND BY THE STREAMERS OF WHITE CLOUD AND WHISPERS OF WIND IN THE LISTENING SKY. THE NAMES OF THOSE WHO IN THEIR LIVES FOUGHT FOR LIFE WHO WORE AT THEIR HEARTS THE FIRE'S CENTRE. BORN OF THE SUN THEY TRAVELLED A SHORT WHILE TOWARDS THE SUN, AND LEFT THE VIVID AIR SIGNED WITH THEIR HONOR." The poem is credited to Stephen Spender. In the bottom right corner, there is a signature that appears to read "Ben S—," although the last name is not fully legible, and there is also a red chop seal, common in East Asian arts as a form of signature or authentication. The artwork conveys a strong sense of reverence and remembrance through both the imagery and the poetic words.
