Wise Coleridge says the happy poem is the best,
And English poets write of sadness best, or most.
There is, I do regret, our rhyming three
Sad, mad, and bad: which do succeed the glad.
But, to be sure, as Raoul Dufy paints,
To write like the bright sap green
Which lights dry saddening banks
Beside charcoal of hard roads in the spring
(Adding rose madder and a deep sky blue)
For all of us is good; and is for the sadder
Writers, a most enviable thing
As Dufy Paints
