living artists, no one to compare liim with except Diirer
himself. And looking at a proof of a drawing he had
done for Peronnik the Fool, a fierce, blustering cock,
screaming, perched on a key drawn in perspective, no
doubt the key of the secret castle where the sorceress
kept the knights she had lured into her service, how he
screams! a raucous scream, as if nobody knew except him-
self that day was near. What intensity in that eye, I
continued, what life there is. Look again at his bony legs
covered with a hard skin—how wonderfully drawn is the
skin. Will my luck give me a publisher when I am among
the gone who will ask Gooden to do four, five or six
pictures for my Daphnis and Chloe! Should such a thing
happen, I doubt not that God will open my ears to hear
the crowing of the cock.
