S. R. G.
ARTIST. To me, imprisoned, by the hand of art You bring the clouded mountains, my desire, The tranquil river, and the unquiet sea, The far, vast morning, and the crimson eve, And silent days, that brood among thick leaves, When, in the afternoon, the summer sun Is sleeping in the hazy, yellow west; And my soul's atmosphere grows like the scene. For though acquainted still with misery, I dream that all the boundaries of my days Contain the unknown, veilèd happiness. Therefore, my friend, to show my gratitude, I offer you these pictures, drawn from thought, With all the art I have—in black and white. E. D. B. S.
