/// These Two Artists walk in, hats in hand,
to a room where they awkwardly stand.
BrožÃk stares at the floor.
Hynais scans the decor.
Too ornate for their taste, but still grand.
/// Voytech Hynais has come here to sell
works of art, and he hopes to do well.
These are people of means.
(See the servant who cleans?)
He holds sketches: girls au naturale.
/// Václav’s here in support of his friend.
Selling paintings, he doesn’t intend.
Still, his mind will recall
what he sees and it all
becomes this work of art in the end.
/// What he saw chilled him right to the bone.
(He was wise not to come here alone.)
The wallpaper designs
made of intricate lines
formed a trapped, screaming face. It’s his own!
