Analysis of Polykleitos. Doryphoros.
Greeks showed the world a feature
Which could be someone’s slogan, -
It is an honest creature
And pretty central organ!
Yet, wonder of creation
And, probably, a treasure
It gives an inspiration
And also a source of pleasure!
It could awake the artist,
It could present a vulture,
It is among the smartest
Envoys of classic culture!
Somebody finds this picture
Improper for a lecture
But this straightforward creature
Is my reward from nature!
It is a candid worker
With some eternal duty,
It’s the torrential poker
Which recognizes beauty!
It is a smooth adventure
In the warm and sacred harbor
And when I drop its cover
It’s some attention’s catcher!
