		There are paintings by contemporaries of Thomson, and photographs of his cairn on Canoe Lake, as well as a blowup of the rondeau “In Flanders Fields” by John McCrae as inscribed on the University of Toronto Alumni Memorial Screen at Hart House.
		Thomson, after all, was somehow seen as being the one who would “throw the torch” to those who followed in his profession as McCrae’s poem speaks of throwing the torch to the comrades in the field at Flanders.

	An Inquiry into the Success of Tom Thomson's The West Wind (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Tom Thomson's The West Wind (figure 1), painted in 1916–17, is one of the most enduring images in the history of Canadian landscape painting, its position secured through frequent reproduction and a growing body of literature devoted to it (see Bordo; Teitelbaum; Linsley).
		She noted that Thomson quoted fragments from the poetry of Wilfred Campbell in his titles, and that it is in fact possible to match some of Thomson's subject matter to specific poems: one example she cites is Northern River of 1915, which she links to Wilfred Campbell's poem of the same title (Murray, 19).
		And Thomson was a solitary individual who preferred to live alone in the wilderness – the type of person who, familiar with the language of romantic poetry, might well identify so closely with a lone tree, his doppelgänger, that he becomes one with it.
