Harlequin, angel and king
(or maybe artist, muse and patron, who knows)

Inspired by the painting by Franz Von Stuck (1863-1928)

"To-day has been a lyric day
I hope I shall remember long,
Of meadow dance and roundelay,
Of woodland glee, of glow and song.
Such joy I saw in maidens eyes,
In mother gaze such tender bliss . . .
How earth would rival paradise
If every day could be like this!

Why die, say I? Let us live on
In lyric world of song and shine,
With ecstasy from dawn to dawn,
Until we greet the dawn Devine."
Written by Paul Laurence Dunbar
