XII. ENGLISH ART
I long for the great day when English ArtShall be the outcome of the English race.
When every woman shall have Venus' face
And the Madonna's beauty, and her heart.
When we shall seek no longer strength to impart
And beauty, and a far-off foreign grace,
To our own Art from any alien place,
In English field and street and house and mart
Seeking our models:—for the day I long
When beauty, love, like thine shall fill the land
Inspiring some great English Titian's hand
And some great English Dante's sea-winged song.
I wait the day when English Art shall be
Commensurate with sunlight, and with thee.
