“The good grey guardians of art
Patrol the halls on spongy shoes,
Impartially protective, though
Perhaps suspicious of Toulouse.”

Got a misshapen look, it’s nudged where it could;
Simple as soil yet crowded as earth with all.”

Composedly have made their long sojourns,
Like palaces of patience, in the gray
And changeless lands of ice.”
