Before each artful act brushed by Cosette

Under space whence stage’s shone shine is let,

Before appraisal of dry after wet

From skill skated over chose canvas met,

Ritual’s right luck still reserves its get

By way of paint jars—each as eprouvette—

Christening the master’s peaced painting set

With first strokes of line brilliant as vignette. ; )
