12 To Piv? Welonski: Sculptor, Rome. Why do men carve these images of stone?- Is it for those who stare and flock about?- There are, alas,- who carve for those alone, dependent on the world's approving shout But some, whose life it is thro' [[strikethrough]] flying days, To wrest from that [[strikethrough]] rude stone the truth that waits, Carve dumbly on, nor [[strikethrough]] ask for human praise, Knowing, the God within still compensates.
