Oh God, in painting the canvas of my life,
use colours that are strong and rich: and do not scrape them with the
pallet-knife, to make them smooth and thin.
I care not which you use of all your colours, red or gold, purple or black,
so that they stand out bold, and are not lost in muddy, greyish tone;
Help them on thickly, in a pattern, strange, my own: so that my life be
strong and true.
Fill it with joy, or else with sorrows pack. Paint as you will,
but this thing do: Use colour, even if it be your deepest black.
