Hi all! Remember when I took those 3 weeks off to help produce that game show in Ireland? Well, it’s called “The Floor,” and the second season drops tonight (9/25) on Fox at 9ET/8CT, if you care to check it out. (BTW, I’m also the judge behind the scenes hitting the dings and buzzers for right and wrong answers, which was pretty intense).

I have added a comment there pointing to the info I found about this artist I used to point to here. So far, only work by him used here.

/// Four Sournoise sisters gather to gaze
at the pictures one found on The Vase,
which boldly portrays
a nude satyr who “plays”
with nude nymphs and the lust he displays.

As they stared much amazed upon the vase
The girls each saw a view of her own face
The surface seemed so smooth and opaque
But then the colors swirled dizzily to take
On strange shapes within that space
.
The eldest girl saw a firm scene to resolve
Into what she thought she wanted it to involve —
A godlike man would take her hand in marriage
And off they would ride in his fantastic carriage
But riding into the Earth they did Dis-solve.
Girl number two had a similar fate
A bit more complex and hard to relate
In meeting the man she had meant to wed
She began to ride on the journey but instead
Fell from the horse and in dying met her Fate
.
What magic was this in the elaborate urn?
And why was it hidden away, for what concern?
Young ladies, remember the Ode by Keats
That ancient Grecian, this one in age far beats
Oh, nothing good from it would you learn
.
An Imp, as suggested by Stevenson?
Or Jinn from Arab Nights, another one?
Your True Love is not within to be seen
Turn away from that Vase, your eyes do screen
Fate is fickle and seeing now the truth’s not done
