In 1882 , Walter Langley settled in Newlyn , Cornwall . The subjects of his paintings were typically Cornish fishermen and their families . The title is taken from the Tennyson poem " In Memoriam " First published anonymously 1850 , written in memoriam of his friend Arthur Henry Hallam , one verse of which reads : 'That loss is common would not make my own less bitter , rather more . To common ! Never morning wore To evening , but some heart did break .
