In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:

On an Attic Red-Figured Amphora ( B.C.) by the “Berlin Painter” in the Metropolitan Museum The one young singer, clay-red on sheer black, Flings back his head in joy, advances dancing. Drawn lines of kithara, khiton, sash, and back Repeat the amphora’s fictile lines, hold time Controlled, almost, in space’s turned dimension. His will, Apollo’s now, seeks the sublime. Archaic art. Yet clarity and tension Seem threatened by the singer’s imminent rapture. Quest for the god, young soul, might prove your capture.  You are reading copyrighted material published by Ohio University Press/Swallow Press.
