Poem By Emily Dickinson:
And what about our nightingale? Apparently silent and not there by the end of season two.
But not even the harshest of storms can silence the little bird. The little tune is always there. Growing, crescendo evermore.
Until it sings its full tune in the soul and outside of it too.

Tom Roberts - A break away! - 1891
oil on canvas
Dimensions Height: 137.3 cm × 167.8 cm (54.1 in × 66.1 in)
A break away! is an 1891 painting by Australian artist Tom Roberts.
The painting depicts a mob of thirsty sheep stampeding towards a dam. A drover on horseback is attempting to turn the mob before they drown or crush each other in their desire to drink. The painting, an “icon of Australian art”, is part of a series of works by Roberts that “captures what was an emerging spirit of national identity.”
Roberts painted the work at Corowa. The painting depicts a time of drought, with little grass and the soil kicked up as dust. The work itself is a reflection on the pioneering days of the pastoral industry, which were coming to an end by the 1890s.
The painting is now part of the collection of the Art Gallery of South Australia. It was included in Quintessence Editions Ltd.’s 2007 book 1001 Paintings You Must See Before You Die.
Thomas William “Tom” Roberts (8 March 1856 – 14 September 1931) was a British-born Australian artist and a key member of the Heidelberg School, also known as Australian Impressionism. After attending art schools in Melbourne, he left for Europe in 1881 to further his training, and returned home in 1885, “primed with whatever was the latest in art”. He did much to promote en plein air painting and encouraged other artists to capture the national life of Australia. While he is best known for his “national narratives”, among them Shearing the Rams (1890), A break away! (1891) and Bailed Up (1895), he also achieved renown as a portraitist.

Tom Roberts - Bailed up - 1895
oil on canvas
Dimensions 134.5 cm × 182.8 cm (53.0 in × 72.0 in)
Bailed Up is a 1895 painting by Australian artist Tom Roberts. The painting depicts a stage coach being held up by bushrangers in an isolated, forested section of a back road. The painting is part of the collection of the Art Gallery of New South Wales. and has been described by the former Senior Curator as “the greatest Australian landscape ever painted”.
Roberts painted the work while staying at Newstead sheep station—near Inverell, New South Wales—owned by his friend Duncan Anderson. He had earlier painted The Golden Fleece, his second painting depicting sheep shearing, while at Newstead. The notorious bushranger Captain Thunderbolt had been active in the Inverell area more than twenty five years earlier and Roberts conceived an idea of painting a bushranging scene.
Roberts found his location for the painting along the road between Newstead and Paradise, a neighbouring station. The location was remote, on a flat bend on an uphill stretch of the road, surrounded by “grass trees and a forest of tall gums.” At this spot Roberts, with assistance from the Anderson family, constructed a viewing platform in a tree growing on the slope below the road, thus setting himself up at road level. Roberts painted the Cobb and Co coach in Inverell and modelled the characters in the painting on people in Inverell and station hands at Newstead. Before starting on the main canvas Roberts “made tiny drawings and an oil sketch of how he wanted the scene to look.”
Once complete, Roberts exhibited Bailed Up in Sydney and Melbourne. Critical reception to the work was mixed; with comment in the press about “the way the legs of the men, or the skin of the horses had been depicted” among other things. Pearce considered that “[p]erhaps unsatisfactory pictorial resolution was sensed” by collectors. Regardless, for a thirty-year period the painting failed to find a buyer. Roberts reduced his asking price from £275 to 75 guineas in 1900 but still no buyer could be found.
In 1927, Roberts reworked the painting and the extent of this rework has been difficult to ascertain. Using X-ray photography, art historians now think that Roberts simplified the work considerably, making it flatter and more abstract, in the modernist style that had come into vogue at that time. The painting was finally sold for 500 guineas in 1928, purchased by a Sydney solicitor, J. W. Maund. Maund was also a trustee of the Art Gallery of New South Wales and he immediately lent the painting to the gallery—selling it to them five years later.
En route to an exhibition in Melbourne in 1956—part of the cultural program of the 1956 Summer Olympics— the painting fell off the back of a truck. The painting was damaged but successfully restored.
