About this artwork

Old Is for Books

2.25×2.75 in

Ink on Paper

Unsigned Final Study

Written by Ogden Nash and Illustrated by Maurice Sendak

Excerpt:

He tells me that as the years have slipped by
He has become utterly dependent on his wife because he has forgotten how to tie his tie.
He says he sleeps after luncheon instead of at night,
And he hates to face his shaving mirror because although his remaining hair is brown his moustache comes out red and his beard comes out white.
Furthermore, he says that last week he was stranded for thirty six hours in his club
Because he couldn’t get out of his tub.
He says he was miserable, but when he reflected that the same thing probably eventually happened to Rabbi Ben Ezra
It relieved his mizra.
