...the realist who studies our

²thin atomic Vast,

The rare-point sparse substratum Universe

On which floats a solid world's phenomenal face."

There is the future abstract painter?

Yes; Savitri: great epic poem;.)

I love this sketch. You can see plainly that the artist is living kind of hand-to-mouth, not making much money on the sketches he does for his bourgeois patrons. Yet they aren't portrayed as vain or haughty; Cucuel has drawn them all just as they are.
