Art is an image of life, a hard, bright doll, Or mummied shape of that which walked aloft, Preserved for ages by the craftsman's tool. Yet look those rigid features guard a spirit Quick as a heart-beat. Dreaming Adam brings His inmost rib, no robot to inherit Of red lips worked by automatic strings. Seeing this, I cannot love the transient days Unless I know false art from true desire. True is the pitying eye, the pulse of praise, False is the puppet on ambition's wire. 0 live, then, truly. Learn your mummer's part, Lest, in a patchwork play of joy and pain, You lose your night-love to a china heart, Your daybreak-fancy to a sawdust brain. VERNON WATKINS.
