English poem
All Pictures thats Panted with Sense & with Thought
ALL pictures that ’s painted with sense and with thought Are painted by madmen, as sure as a groat; For the greater the fool is the pencil more blest, As when they are drunk they always paint best. They never can Raphael it, Fuseli it, nor Blake it; If they can’t see an outline, pray how can they make it? When men will draw outlines begin you to jaw them; Madmen see outlines and therefore they draw them.
