When these things are done .... - Drawing by James K Baxter

Description: Copy of a drawing of a hand with inscription, drawn by James K Baxter for Kendrick Smithyman in a copy of Jerusalem Sonnets at the time of publication in 1970. Inscription reads: "To share one's goods; to speak the truth, not hiding one's heart from others; to love one another and show it by the embrace; to take no job where one has to lick the boss's arse; to learn from the Maori side of the fence; when these things are done, the soul rises to the surface of the friend's face, like a fish to the surface of the water, and the soul is always beautiful. When Maori and pakeha do these things together, the double rainbow begins to shine". Quantity: 1 b&w original photographic print(s). Physical Description: Resin-coated paper copy print
