THE WALL.

The sun falls thro' the olivetrees
And shines upon the wall below,
And lights the wall which cannot know
The Sunlight that it never sees.

I lie and dream; the Eternal Mind
Rains down on me and fills me full
With secrets high and wonderful;
—And still my soul is deaf and blind.


The present watercolor was created by Denis to illustrate the above poem written by Mary Robinson for her book of poetry entitled Un jardin italien which was published in 1931 with accompanying watercolors by the artist.
