TK,
This has been well picked over, so I will forgo the line by line thing (usually do anyway, just to pedantic for my taste).

"I feel no pricks"
Is this a double or triple entendre?

Image has been reduced. What size screen do you have, a 3x5.....foot?
Pretty picture, but hard for me to get into the poem when it is broken up like that, despite the nice illustrations.
???What music?

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.

To anyone who is interested the pics were always on this edit but they were thumbnails. I have no idea how they got this big so soudainement and even less idea, how to return them to the original (small) size!
I feel no pricks is open to er....interpretation
