(7) A Question

THE critic writes: “Our art appears to meQuite weak and wheezy in its aged distress.Where can our epoch’s youthful spirit be? Who’ll chant of spring in poems that possessThe sap of spring? Who from the grave will free Youth, strength, with wondrous verses for their dress?”He wrote. And rubbing both his hands with glee He squinted at his own book, in the press.
