The Dog of Art by Denise Levertov
That dog with daisies for eyes who flashes forth flame of his very self at every bark is the Dog of Art. Worked in wool, his blind eyes look inward to caverns and jewels which they see perfectly, and his voice measures forth the treasure in music sharp and loud, sharp and bright, bright flaming barks, and growling smoky soft, the Dog of Art turns to the world the quietness of his eyes.
