22. French monument, c.1874, marble, Green-Wood Cemetery, Brooklyn. The pointing angel, indicating that the soul has departed for heaven, offers explicit comfort to the bereaved. While the disembodied hand poiiiting up was a common motif on nineteenth-century gravestones, the pointing angel's origins were, of course, earlier depictions of the angel at Jesus's sepulcher, who asked rhetorically "Why seek ye the living among the dead?" A popular mid-century poem in Over the River; or, Pleasant Wal...ks into the Valley of Shadows, and Beyond (1862) extended this privilege to common mortals: The mourners came at break of day Unto the garden sepulchre, With sorrowing hearts to weep and pray For him whom they had buried there. What radiant light expels the gloom? An angel sits beside the tomb! Then mourn we not beloved death — E'en while we come to weep and pray. The happy spirit far has fled To brighter realms of endless day! Immortal hope dispels the gloom; Art angel sits beside the tomb.^"* The poem's last two lines also appeared as epitaphs.**' A striking pointing angel, arguably the most beautiful in this study, is sculptor Henry Kirke Brown's nearly life-size bronze in Allegheny Cemetery.
