Summer Birches
About This Painting: In English the noun became a verb, to birch.
Birching was the now-discredited practice of flogging British schoolchildren with birch twigs tied into a nasty, welt-raising bundle. Pious pedagogues even had a sad little saying to accompany their sadomasochistic act: “I must send you to Birchin Lane .” The cheap pun recalled an actual London street. Even in Shake-speare’s time Birchin Lane was well known for second-hand clothing stores, being lined with apparel emporia where an impecunious Elizabethan swain might pick up a bargain in a maroon velvet doublet.
