LINES

from Gerard Manley Hopkins poem that I'd learned and illustrated years ago -


Praise God for dappled things . . .

All things counter, original, spare, strange;

. . . adazzle dim. . .


and from Emily Dickenson


1129

Tell all the Truth but tell it slant—

Success in Circuit lies . . .

The Truth must dazzle gradually

Or every man be blind—
