Golden Rod and the Portrait of a Convent Fate
In a Vermont farm tale a border of art and longing unfolds around Paul Dennett who rents a room at Deacon Smith's widow Lena's farm. Lena captivates Dennett, who finishes a painting titled Golden Rod, but when he declares intent to marry, Lena flees. Years pass as Dennett’s fame grows, a lost love haunts him, and at last a chance reunion ends with Lena choosing a convent over marriage, her foregone pardon sealed by a crucifix.
