"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.
