"I cannot say-and I will not say ^
That he is dead. He is just away.
With a cheery smile, and wave of the ha
He has wandered into an unknown land
And left us dreaming how/ very fair
it nelds must be, since he Ungers there;
So think of him faring on, as dear
in the love of There as the love of Here,
Think of him still as the same, I say,
He is not dead, He is just away.

Hands by Albrecht Durer, the stf-gall-ed-'perfect artistwhose woodcut and
copper engravings were major excess ions of his art. He used many religious
themes, and was noted for his senhtji\e cm (I detailed drawings. The story is
that these were the hands of someone'-i/fho had great faith in his ability, and
worked to help him attain his artistic training; that in the process, their own
hands became so gnarled as to be incapable of equal work; and in gratitude,
and because he. saw their labor of love as beautiful, he immortalized the hands.
