Black as the Devil Painteth Theatre Of Tragedy (0 votos)
An artist is what is call'd the self that the brush holdeth -Though hath it then caringly caress'd the Canvas of to-morrow?,O Canvas! for thee I hold my tool - still! passionlessly itquivereth,Minding not that my hands are more than apt;My Muse,Where is hiddenThe blue-huéd arch 'neath the High Heaven's rich emblazonry,The flowery meadow, embrac'd by the horizon - snowflakéd and aërymountains,In which the barebreastéd maidens dance to the lay o'midsummer,Aloft the distant lazy flapping of the doves in vainglore.O Canvas!, wherefore canst thou these images not allow? -I deem a projection of my Theatre they should be! -Then, I challenge thee the wisdom of naysaying the yearns o' mine-What is this unforseen that not enjoineth light shades to beskillfully paintéd?The raven sky prey'd on by the snowfill'd, blustery clouds,Unadornéd the meadow - hunger driveth the wolf out of the wood,The maidens chainéd and whippéd within a dreary dungeon -And, lo! 'twixt the wizen roses a mossy grave:«The Devil is as Black as he Painteth» -O Canvas! wherefore?...
