Scents

Oh, Balboa's dogs took his exception
To the natives' gaeity,
Not unlike the delivery of the King's ax,
To the extreme.
So the South Sea revealed to be seen
For Gauguin.
And Picasso read his book,
Noa Noa.
From there the sad news,
The Master at his extremity,
("Master" a deference of Vincent's)
Inspired the drawing,
"Standing Nude, 1903"
Signed Paul Picasso.
Balboa's soldiers made pyramid cairns of stones,
Carved crosses in the trees,
There to mark the view where they first beheld
The Pacific Ocean, Magellan's epithet.

Notes: thought to look up Balboa, having gone out and back to Balboa of late-see last month's posts...I can binge browse stories of artists nearly 24/7...at Palomar, I found in the library a trove of art books...now youtube the self same...and once upon them, the 'algo librarian' piles more on!...
