Bewick and Blake Beholden

BEWICK

unhampered    
      unclouded 
         clear precise
     memoirs of the mind
hollowed out of time

in domains dissected
         yellow harvests
         fading foliage
          leaves     birds&trees
depicted
    with an unusual eye

a spontaneous overflow
                       of feelings
                             exposed
the rarest
           of qualities
exquisitely
     executed&
                     engraved
BLAKE

without fluence
         in infinite patience
         vital& neccessary
         bursting with life
         yet
          tender&
                   exhuberant

marginalia
          footnotes&epigrams
          imitations worthy of notice
     subjective
                particular
         in mood    &    nature

a miasma
       intent on definition
in visions   of    dells knooks & corners
of paradise
in
a pitch of poetic intensity
vivid brilliancy
        mist dreaming glimmers
upon
        gaudy daylight
