In response to the Monday Mural:

Work of Art
July 7, 2008

In a few simple lines
you captured that sculpture
by which all other works of art
are measured,
from Lascaux to the Barchetta.

A graceful curve,
soft shadows,
a strong backbone.

That some may twist and profane
the most beautiful work
of the greatest Designer
does not make anything vulgar
but their own eyes.

Here dies another day during which I have had eyes, ears, hands and the great world round me; And with tomorrow begins another. Why am I allowed two? (Evening, by Chesterton)
