Savoring all more delicate gradations

In all that hue and tone may play on flesh,
Or thought on brain,—you passed, if I may say so,
From red and scarlet through morbid greens to mauve.
Let us regard ourselves, you used to say,

And all his excellent woods, metals, and stones, 
The things he's filched out of the earth's old pockets 
And hoisted up into walls and domes; the gold, 
Ebony, agate stairs, wainscots of ...Read more of this...
