... / for the long dusks are beginning / and promise to be as intolerable / as ever - I have worked quietly / but not done much - and all my / canvases are baggy with damp / & everything is out of drawing / that isn't a panel - rain / everyday & white morning / mists & rain through my / skylight, & pots all over the / studio floor to catch water / in - one could grow mushrooms / easily on the back of pictures / [caricature of EB-J painting]
