Observing an Artist at Work!

Spider webs are marvels of creation, showing expert design and strength. Those busy little spiders are fine artists, creating so many wonderful and varied webs. Where did they get this marvelous ability? Here is a spider poem by Emily Dickenson, published in 1896:


The Spider as an Artist
Has never been employed --
Though his surpassing Merit
Is freely certified


By every Broom and Bridget
Throughout a Christian Land --
Neglected Son of Genius
I take thee by the Hand --

Emily Dickinson
