ART, by LILLA CABOT PERRYPoet's Biography
First Line: Wouldst know the artist? Then go seek Last Line: This happy failure, this is art.
WOULDST know the artist? Then go seek Him in his labors. Though he strive That Nature's voice alone should speak From page or canvas to the heart, Yet is it passionately alive With his own soul! Of him 't is part! -- This happy failure, this is Art.
