Analysis of The Art .
In an art gallery ,
The tapestry of brush -soaked paper hang ,
Judges buzz , with stories sung .
There flashes the red-light -clumsy lore ,
Half opened whisper , of hired doors ,
Or of an old father with her paralytic-daughter in bed ,
or flickering shadows' prey-eyed tigress ,
Or snow-wide Himalaya with Vivekananda's stature ,
Or Socrates' humor , to poor death's matter .
So many , so many , so many ,-the juries conclude ,
Art faces the face of un -graspable lute .
