remus, sirius, whitman - color

I've been obsessing over the idea of illustrating 'We Two Boys Together Clinging' for a couple of months but my hand has all but died. It's lost it's voice and is just meat. So I've been scripting out the poem. As your image is very very nicely done, (a sweet job), may I be so bold as to suggest that they be reading 'Calamus'.
