介绍（中）	这位诗人的水仙图案的灵感可能来自坎迪斯·惠勒（1827-1923）在长岛牙买加的家内斯特镇自己的花园。惠勒写道，她在那里的一条"迟缓的小溪和一片蕨类沼泽"附近种了一大片鲜花……我想到要利用这个地方，把一大群诗人的水仙移植到其中，每年春天，这些水仙都会在草坪上结出数以百万计的芽……沼泽地过去和现在都覆盖着一层乳白色的花朵。"覆盖效果体现在这幅构图密集的版画中，为了掩盖图案的重复而绘制。这是联合艺术家在亚麻布上印刷的唯一已知设计；自然的底色和不规则的表面纹理可能是为了创造一种朴实无华的"土布"外观，符合工艺美术运动的原则。
介绍（英）	The poet's-narcissus pattern was probably inspired by Candace Wheeler's (1827-1923) own garden at Nestledown, her home in Jamaica, Long Island. Wheeler wrote that she planted a large bed of flowers there near a "sluggish brook and a ferny swamp … It came to me to utilize this place by transplanting into it an army of poet's narcissus which regularly every spring budded on the lawn in millions …the swampy ground was, and is, every recurring spring, covered with a blanket of creamy white blossoms." The blanketing effect is captured in this densely composed print, drawn so as to disguise the pattern's repetition. This is the only known design by Associated Artists printed on linen; the natural ground color and irregular surface texture may have been intended to create an unpretentious, "homespun" look, in keeping with the tenets of the Arts and Crafts movement.
