Nelson: Graphite Response to a Photograph - Don Schaeffer - Apr 16, 2010



Critic's Reaction to the Portrait

Too much chin
and not enough forehead
Nelson is not like that.

He talks
but is not
a thick-mouthed sayer

of bad-phaa or yes.
He lets his brows know
how the wind

rushes past this face
as he drops through life
from his heights,crying,

"I can't help it.
Listen!
I can't help it."
