Edward Lear Parody of Excelsior undated Edward Lear, famous as a landscape artist and humourist, was a close friend of Edward Wilson . Here, in homage to Wilson's interest in pig-breeding, he offers a parody of Longfellow's poem Excelsior , in which a young mountaineer climbs the highest summit at the cost of his life, all the while bearing a banner with the word "excelsior" ("higher"). Lear's prodigious porker runs no risk of perishing in the heights: a much more mundane fate awaits him. List of Documents Pages for all Time
