Poem by Vachel Lindsay

Titian

Would that such hills and cities round us sang, 
Such vistas of the actual earth and man 
As kindled Titian when his life began; 
Would that this latter Greek could put his gold, 
Wisdom and splendor in our brushes bold 
Till Greece and Venice, children of the sun, 
Become our every-day, and we aspire 
To colors fairer far, and glories higher.

1. Sweet Briars of the Stairways
2. The Haughty Snail-King
3. Upon Returning to the Country Road
4. The Master of the Dance
5. The Leaden-Eyed
