THE ONE ARTIST, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: A window-pane; bare boughs against the sky
Last Line: Of any bough through any window-pane.
Subject(s): Nature


A window-pane; bare boughs against the sky:
How boldly intricate the branches lie!
What prodigies of fancy! what a wealth
Of poet color and of sculptured health!
Ah, Phidias, ah, Raphael, Angelo,
And all the other artist-gods we know,
Poor is your best beside that lifted fane
Of any bough through any window-pane.
