Figure descriptions
The hand-drawn illustration title, poem text, and byline appear on a blank sheet at
the center of the page. The poem text features all
capitals and the title lettering is composed of vegetals. The sheet containing the
poem text is tied to a pole on the right side of
the illustration. It appears to blow in the wind. Grasses and bell-shaped flowers
grow below the sheet, lining the bottom edge of
the illustration. A decorative band lines the left and top edges of the illustration,
connecting to the top of the aforementioned
pole. This band is composed of loosely braided vines and vegetals; several small flowers
are tucked within the braid. Together, the
decorative band, the pole, and the plant material form a figurative border around
the central sheet. The illustration background is
darkly shaded. Full page.
