Excerpt from 'A Ballad of an Artist's Wife - ‘Sweet wife, this heavy-hearted age Is nought to us; we two shall look, To Art, and fill a perfect page, In Life’s ill-written doomsday book.’ He wrought in colour; blood and brain, Gave fire and might; and beauty grew, And flowered with every magic stain, His passion on the canvas threw.
