Pickering, Henry: American Painters - ZaunköniG - 11.06.2007 American Painters Thou sleep'st in marble now, O West! still first Upon the roll of fame thy name appears; Thy name, decreed to reach the latest years, Despite the taint of envious breath accurst. And Copley, too, thy spirit proud hast burst!-- But turn we to the living: bright compeers. Our Stuart, Allston! ripe of age, time sears Not that; this burns with an immortal thirst. Who next shall follow in the march of time? See Trumbull, anxious for a deathless name! See Vanderlyn, see ardent Sully, climb! And Leslie, Newton, tread the paths of fame! Urge then the generous race, ye chosen few; And let Apelles, Raphael, live in you. |
