Bishop on the ending of "Musée des Beaux Arts" in a letter to Lowell:
...even if it is describing a painting, I think it's just plain inacurate... --the ploughmen and the people on the boat will rush to see the falling boy any minute, they always do, though maybe not to help... Oh well--I want to see what you'll think of my 'Prodigal Son'
