Titian by Vachel Lindsay

 Would that such hills and cities round us sang, 
Such vistas of the actual earth and man 
As kindled Titian when his life began; 
Would that this latter Greek could put his gold, 
Wisdom and splendor in our brushes bold 
Till Greece and Venice, children of the sun, 
Become our every-day, and we aspire 
To colors fairer far, and glories higher.
