The Light that artist-painters toil to woo
The light that artist-painters toil to woo,
The light that brings to art a beauty new,
Gerome's deft brush once shed; but sheds no more —
The consecration and the dream are o'er.
The blaze of gold has led from Ney to this,
From mountain peaks down to the deep abyss
Where Cairo-corners jut, and lions pause
In cool defiance of artistic laws.
The light that brings to art a beauty new,
Gerome's deft brush once shed; but sheds no more —
The consecration and the dream are o'er.
The blaze of gold has led from Ney to this,
From mountain peaks down to the deep abyss
Where Cairo-corners jut, and lions pause
In cool defiance of artistic laws.
