Read Titian of General William Booth enters into Heaven and other Poems, free online book, by Vachel Lindsay, on ReadCentral.com.

  Would that such hills and cities round us sang,
  Such vistas of the actual earth and man
  As kindled Titian when his life began;
  Would that this latter Greek could put his gold,
  Wisdom and splendor in our brushes bold
  Till Greece and Venice, children of the sun,
  Become our every-day, and we aspire
  To colors fairer far, and glories higher.
