T. J. Clark, "Landscape with a Calm" (after a landscape by Poussin)

There are quotable bits here too, although the poem as a whole is not consistent enough. "Don't assume that men on galloping horses are always in a hurry." The general mode is Ashberyian, but without the precision of language. The "writing a poem after a painting" idea can turn out to be "academic," a mere excercise if not accompanied by communicative urgency. Still, it's pretty impressive for someone better known as Art Historian. 7.5.
