In searching for messages of hope and comfort during these stressful times, we are starting a new series, entitled Past/Present, in which Vogue editors share stories and memories that bring a moment of joy.
VogueLooking for glimmers of hope the other day I remembered how, when our son was a little guy in overalls, we used to take walks on which we’d help him look and listen for signs of spring—snowdrops, daffodils, budding trees, bird chirps. I decided to see if I could replicate the experience from the home office , and found the archive was teeming with hope-filled spring imagery, some of which you’ll find below.
My first discovery happened after “tripping” over a potato-shaped rock. Curious about Salvador Dalí’s enigmatic April 1, 1944 cover with its banner-woven brick-and-flowers logo and rearing stallion, and that ant-friendly stone in the foreground, I found, on the table of contents, this resonant caption: “Even to [Dalí’s] world of infinite emptiness, battle, and long farewells, spring comes as usual...blessed with birds and bees, trees in leaf, and full blown rose bouquets.
This is a time to be steadfast and clear, not one for rose-colored glasses; still, we must focus on the future, on the pandemic-free days and seasons to come, because they will arrive—just like spring has.
