| The Light that artist-painters toil to woo |
|
|
| Brangwyn has mastered every maudlin rule |
|
|
| Nine feeble figures, of an equal length |
|
|
| King Louis' Arch of Steel , by Laurens wrought |
|
|
| A Channel canvas, commonplace and tame |
|
|
| A Glaring light, a row of old tree-trunks |
|
|
| Girodet took the broad and easy path |
|
|
| Isabey's heavy-handed shipping scenes |
|
|
| A Proud 'Historic,' of pretentious guile |
|
|
| Tho' talent lacks of genius, fresh and free |
|
