[New-Poetry] Bishop's drafts cause uproar

[Anny Ballardini]

don't know about Bishop,

but I would like to support what Hal says re.: museums and sketches.

In the visual field, sketches are most important. Remember the ones by 
Leonardo, those circular lines encircling/drawing clouds, folds, men in the 
battle, running horses, Leonardo's trait, slanting from left to right. 
Kandinsky's "Point and Line to Plane" comes from attentive studies of 
sketches, can't say specifically or only by Leonardo, but sketches indeed.
