Extrapolation; Inspired By A Soviet Artist's Reply To Just Criticism [Redux]

Author's Notes/Comments: 

The title contains an allusion to the headnote that Shostakovich affixed to his Symphony 5.  The brackets around the word "soul" indicate that is not my first choice for the word in that position on the line.
