a tattered coat upon a stick, unless
soul clap its hands and sing, and louder sing
for every tatter in its mortal dress."

A little topaz, a little desat, mostly nice light.

"Soul clap its hand and sing, and Louder sing..." for this superb macro of an aged hand complete with lines and wrinkles, whorls and creases, skin patterns, textures, shapes and the marvel of humanity. Thanks also for the nod to Yeats, a superb Sligo Irish poet.
