MEISSONIER.
Watching your precious work, we vainly guess
What miracle creates as potent fact
Such height in brevity, width in narrowness,
And liberal vigor wed with cunning tact.
What miracle creates as potent fact
Such height in brevity, width in narrowness,
And liberal vigor wed with cunning tact.
Your virile patience that no toil can crush,
The more we muse upon we prize the more,
O Liliput Angelo, whose wizard brush
Could paint a battle upon a louis d'or!
The more we muse upon we prize the more,
O Liliput Angelo, whose wizard brush
Could paint a battle upon a louis d'or!
