| All art pictorial is, in sober sooth |
|
|
| The Mental toilers marshals from his brain |
|
|
| George Inness is en route to happy Fame |
|
|
| Of pose eccentric and of colour coarse |
|
|
| Pictorial art has unity of aim |
|
|
| Men do a thing because they find it pays |
|
|
| The Bismark of the fine and lordly pase |
|
|
| Technique! that vesture visible of mind |
|
|
| The Picture falls within the centred sight |
|
|
| As it was written in the Book of Fate |
