"Cobalt and umber and ultramarine,
|
|
Ivory black and emerald green --
|
|
What shall I paint to give pleasure to you?"
|
|
"Paint for me somebody utterly new."
|
| |
|
|
"I have painted you tigers in crimson and white."
|
|
"The colors were good and you painted aright."
|
|
"I have painted the cook and the camel in blue
|
|
And a panther in purple." "You painted them true.
|
| |
|
|
"Now mix me a color that nobody knows,
|
|
And paint me a country where nobody goes.
|
|
And put in it people a little like you,
|
|
Watching a unicorn drinking the dew." |
