TITIAN, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Would that such hills and cities round us sang
Last Line: To colors fairer far, and glories higher.

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.
