De Young Museum April 19, 1985 (GARBLED TEXT)

Field trip to the De Young museum
We get Mr. Hudson again,
he may be old as a river
and talks a garbled talk,
but he is the best docent ever.

Pam Milia's class experiments:

using red cloth for red flesh. 

He says: the round brush gives us color 

and drying was the sole of painting             xxxx?

Ingres used gray paint, and charcoal chalk 

They did a painting first in black-and-white 

and then they added the color 

It was the underpaint that gave it life
and the thin linseed varnish
over the paint, makes it float.
He says: it's transparent—
look at that blue vault of heaven
and the robe of the Virgin. Such blue!
ropes a palm branch and marcher.   xxxxxx

Baby Jesus with the sparrow 

Goldfinch lives in the door thorns 

Jesus is nearly weightless,
he is so holy.

Salt follows sweet and 

we drink scalding hot tea
a jasmine garden.



We transcend folly
boldly skirt the construction
zone, to climb the bridge.



I read Aiken's Zen Wave
to my students as they draw
in the Tea Garden.
