| "When earth"s last picture is painted, and the tubes are twisted and
dried, When the oldest colors have faded, and the youngest critic has
died, We shall rest, and, faith, we shall need it?lie down for an eon or
two, Till the Master of All Good Workmen shall set us to work anew! And
those that were good shall be happy: they shall sit in a golden chair;
They shall splash at a ten-league canvas with brushes of comets" hair;
They shall find real saints to draw from?Magdalene, Peter, and Paul; They
shall work for an age at a sitting and never be tired at all! And only the
Master shall praise us, and only the Master shall blame; And no one shall
work for money, and no one shall work for fame; But each for the joy of
working, and each, in his separate star Shall draw the Thing as he sees It
for the God of Things as They Are! ?Rudyard Kipling" | |
