Letters of James McNeill Whistler 1863. 31 May 1863. 7 Lindsey Row Old Chelsea. Sunday
Dear Sandys (age 34) -
You have done the proper thing thoroughly and I only wish I could accept your jolly invitation and do the yachting and eat the dinner which I have no doubt will be stunning -
but it's of no use - I must stick to a couple of pictures, commissions! for I am just about cleaned out - and tin will be forked over on their completion -
Your "Vivien" is splendid in tone and colour especially the head - of course it is badly hung -
One of my pictures [is] refused and one put on the floor - You will perhaps be pleased to hear that the "White Girl" is a real success in Paris - and already I have had a letter to know if it may be possessed for gold! -
Adieu mon cher - Remember me to Tom Geckyl (age 35) -
Jo (age 20) says many things aimables - and if ever I lent her to anyone to paint, it should certainly be to you mon ami -
Adieu again - and success to the trip -
Ever yours,
J. Whistler (age 28)

O Virgin Mother! of gentle days and nights,.
Spring of fresh buds and spring of soft delights,.
Come, with lips kissed of many an amorous hours,.
Come, with hands heavy from the fervent flower,.
The fleet first flower that feels the wind and sighs,.
The tenderer leaf that draws the sun and dies;.
Light butterflies like flowers alive in the air.
Circling and crowning thy delicious hair,.
And many a fruitful flower and floral fruit.
Born of thy breath and fragrant from thy foot.
Thee, Mother, all things born desire, and thee.
Earth and the fruitless hollows of the sea.
Praise, and thy tender winds of ungrown wing.
Fill heaven with murmurs of the sudden spring.
