Gainsborough Phrasis All Is Simplicity Rected

ALL IS SIMPLICITY Create a little business for the Eye to be drawn from trees, to return them with more glee.Variety, lively touches, surprising effects to make the heart dance so pictures walk out from their frame. All is simplicity and elegance almost motionless plainness in a grand style.The eye may be cheated by appearance and size, as a tune confused by a false bass, a fictious bundle of trumpery in poetical impossibilities. Fools talk of imitation and copying, all is imitation, what makes the difference,not genius or conception but performance. From Thomas Gainsborough letters *A Phrasis is a structured verse where the poet uses selected prose phrases of another writer’s(not a poet) to compile unique poetry therefrom as a tribute thereto,the word phrasis is Greek for phrase.
