MarkingsCaptioned: The Craftsman's Dream inscribed within the borders; Out of work a wandering craftsman, Along the grey street wet & wide Sought the gate, with scribe & draughtsman Wherein the bones of art abide In museum gloom benighted Soon strayed he to enchanted land; As from London's waste, smoke-blighted, He trod the golden age's sand. He stood before Art's sphinx sedate, An AEdipus of latter day-, To rede the rune of human fate, From what its sculptured scroll might say:
