(no time for anything but his painting)
Because I'm writing a paper about it, a poem:
Pictures from Brueghel: I. Self-Portrait
William Carlos Williams
In a red winter hat blue
eyes smiling
just the head and shoulders
crowded on the canvas
arms folded one
big ear the right showing
the face slightly titled
a heavy wool coat
with broad buttons
gathered at the neck reveals
a bulbous nose
but the eyes red-rimmed
from over-use he must have
driven them hard
but the delicate wrists
show him to have been a
man unused to
manual labor unshaved his
blond beard half trimmed
no time for any-
thing but his painting
