Using indelible colors,
Seeress and siren and saint.
Banished them all to the brook brims,
There in benign ambuscade,
Taught them the art of portraying
Beauty that never may fade.
Voiced she the values of the shadows
Moored to the moss-mantled crags;
Primed them to pose by the dwarf palms
And mid the cat-tails and flags.
