Scope and Contents
The image of this picture poem is a stylized, destroyer ship in side view silhouette. The smoke stacks and turrets are labeled with the letters A, B, C, and D. The letters pertain to Greek architectural columns for their temples, viz., Doric, Ionic, Corinthian, and Composite. The poem signifies Finlay's love of the neo-classical period, the architecture in the late 18th and early 19th century prevalent in America and Europe that was characterized by wide-spread use of Greek orders and decorative motifs. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
