watercolour and ink on paper

The Charcoal-Burner and the Fuller

CHARCOAL-BURNER worked from home where black was black

FULLER worked from home too, but there white was white
They were friends and occasional lovers
So one said to the other come live with me, my lovely
It won’t matter that my black is black and your white is white

Oh my darling, replied the other
It is not the black and the white that cannot mix
It is that my whitening would always fight your blackening.
