A Toast to Art - Canvas

To Art, A Toast by Marie Antoinette

Fools are quick to doubt and mock,
For they do not understand.
But I know well the beauty of art,
It flows through my very hand.

For paintings, sculptures, and the written word,
I tip my hat with a merry cheer.
Here's to the artists, truly blessed,
Oh, how I shed a tear!

For art can teach us to imagine,
Tempt us, thrill us, dare us try.
A toast to art and what it can do -
Until the day we all die.
