Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The speaker addresses vividly energetic sketches with admiring exaggeration, calling them strong, spirited and full of variety and glow, then asks what to do with them. The praise is generous, yet the question leaves a playful hint of bafflement about how anyone should handle such boldness.
