"LYRIC POETRY"

Photo-engraving in colors after the original painting by H. O. WALKER

The original of this picture occupies a large tympanum and presents seven figures For reasons of space only the central section containing the five principal figures is given here. The figure standing in the centre represents Lyric Poetry; while on cach side are arrayed the sentiments called forth by her song. To her left are Pathos, looking upward as if calling upon Heaven to allay her grief; and Truth, a beautiful nude women exhorting the singer to remain within the bounds of reason. On the other side of the panel are Passion, poised in eagerness and rapture 2 and Beauty, calm and contented.
