Beautiful poem reads in full: ”When Earth’s last picture is painted / And the tubes are twisted and dried / When the oldest colors are faded / And the youngest critics have died / We shall rest, and faith, we shall need it / Lie down for an aeon or two / ‘Till the Master of all good workmen / Shall call us to work anew. / And those that were good shall be happy / They shall sit in a golden chair / And splash at a ten league canvas / With brushes of comet’s hair / And they shall have real saints to draw from / Magdalene, Peter, and Paul / They shall work for an age at a sitting / And never be tired at all. / And only the Master shall praise us. / And only the Master shall blame. / No one shall work for money. / No one shall work for fame. / But each for the joy of working, / And each, in his separate star, / Shall draw the thing as he sees it. / For the God of things as they are! / Rudyard Kipling”. Poem was written two years after Kipling won the Nobel Prize for Literature. 24 lines on two pages measures 5.25” x 7.75”. Toning, else near fine. Sold for $3,049.
