“No sketches first, no studies, that's long past:
I do what many dream of, all their lives,
--Dream? strive to do, and agonize to do,
And fail in doing. I could count twenty such
On twice your fingers, and not leave this town,
Who strive--you don't know how the others strive
To paint a little thing like that you smeared
Carelessly passing with your robes afloat,--
Yet do much less, so much less, Someone says,
(I know his name, no matter)--so much less!
Well, less is more, Lucrezia: I am judged.
There burns a truer light of God in them,
In their vexed beating stuffed and stopped-up brain,
Heart, or whate'er else, than goes on to prompt
This low-pulsed forthright craftsman's hand of mine.
Their works drop groundward, but themselves, I know,
Reach many a time a heaven that's shut to me,
Enter and take their place there sure enough,
Though they come back and cannot tell the world.”

“Het leven Ãs geen galerie, van boven tot onder in steriel wit geschilderd, met maar één kubistisch winterlandschapje aan de muur, of met maar één stuk excrement dat aan één draadje aan de zoldering hangt te draaien, of met maar één aquarium waarin op sterk water ocharme één beest ronddrijft dat proper in tweeën is gesneden, of wat er vandaag de dag verder nog allemaal naar voren wordt geschoven als zijnde 'de kunst van het moderne memento mori'.”
