You are my most favorite artist. Though I know 
very little about your work. Some of your followers I know: 
Mattia Preti, who toiled so hard to so little 
effect (though it was enough). Luca Giordano, involved 
with some of the darkest reds ever painted, and lucent greens, 
thought he had discovered the secret of the foxgloves. 
But it was too late. They had already disappeared 
because they had been planted in some other place. 
Someone sent some bread up 
along with a flask of wine, to cheer him up, 
but the old, old secret of the foxgloves, never 
to be divined, won’t ever go away.
