Great Artists, Vol 1.: Raphael, Rubens, Murillo, and Durer
Chapter 7
Hence in silence and in sorrow, toiling still with busy hand, Like an emigrant he wandered seeking for the Better Land.
_Emigravit_ is the inscription on the tomb-stone where he lies; Dead he is not, but departed--for the artist never dies.
Fairer seems the ancient city and the sunshine seems more fair, That he once has trod its pavement, that he once has breathed its air!
