Excerpt from Luca Della Robbia: And Other Verses Florentine. Luca Della Robbia. God lent to him His own blue warp of sky And, for a woof, earth's clay, Then seemed incitingly to say, "Take these and shape them to your ecstasy!" But Luca found between his Tuscan sod And the wide-arching canopy A peopled land of mystery, Of angels, cherubim and saints of God. Thus with three diverse worlds unto his hand, God's sky, and cloud, and plastic soil, And two clear tints obedient to his toil, Pure white and blue divine, he sanctified his land. Into a thousand wayside shrines and holy places He brought down God and Blessed Mary, Christ and His friends - with clay for fairy - And with the help of Faith set glory on their faces.
