American Gothic: Country Life Poor Rural Farmer Magnet
American Gothic: Is about the poor country life of a rural farmer and family. Short Story: The wind whispered secrets through the tall cornstalk's, but for Amos and Ruth, the most curious rustling came from beyond the canvas. They had grown accustomed to the changing faces – the art critics with their scathing pronouncements, the wide-eyed tourists, the families whispering their interpretations. -- Amos, once a simple farmer, had become an unwitting icon. The American Gothic painting, their stoic portrait in front of the farmhouse, had taken on a life of its own. -- Ruth, her eyes mirroring his own steely gaze, would sometimes catch a glimpse of amusement in his eyes. "They think they know us, Pa," she'd say with a wry smile. "Those fancy folks from the city see what they want to see." -- Amos would just nod. The truth was etched in the lines of their faces, the worry lines deepened by the dust storms and the ever-present fear of losing their land. The pitchfork in his hand wasn't a weapon, but a tool, a symbol of the backbreaking labour that kept a roof over their heads. -- Yet, as they watched the viewers, a strange connection formed. Amos felt a flicker of understanding in the eyes of the young couple who saw resilience. He saw a flicker of pity in the gaze of the elderly woman who, perhaps, remembered similar struggles. -- The painting, a window into their lives, had become a mirror reflecting the hopes, fears, and interpretations of those who stood before it. Amos and Ruth, forever frozen in time, became silent observers of the ever-changing world, a constant reminder of the enduring American spirit, etched not just on canvas, but on the hearts of those who dared to look beyond the surface. -- This work is in the public domain because it was published in the United States between 1927 and 1963, and although there may or may not have been a copyright notice, the copyright was not renewed. The author died in 1942, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 75 years or fewer.

I absolutely love this magnet featuring one of my favourite characters, Beatrix, from my favourite comic Breaking Cat News. The saying on this magnet is timeless! Printing quality is superb.

I ordered thinking this was a New Zealand site (had a .co.nz address) not realising it was shipping from the UK. Have had to use other things for xmas presents as it's now Jan 2nd and they've still not arrived. I'll tell you if it ever gets here!
