Elsewhere, Walker's work depicts figures from the works of noted British and American poets. Represented in the corridor are Alfred, Lord Tennyson, John Keats, William Wordsworth, Ralph Waldo Emerson, John Milton and William Shakespeare.
She is crowned with a wreath of laurel and touching the strings of a lyre. The feelings that most commonly inspire her songs — Pathos, Truth, Devotion, Passion, Beauty, and Mirth — are personified on either side.
The Library of Congress may not have a Tortured Poets Department but we DO have a Poetry Gallery. The series of murals in the south gallery are by artist Henry Oliver Walker. The figure in the center of this one, the largest mural, represents "Lyric Poetry." 😍🧵#ttpd
