Where we play our private dramas, Gentle, saddening, precocious.... Comedies that we have suffered; Feelings drawn from past and present; Evil masked in pretty phrases; Soothing words and luring pictures; Subtle stirrings, mere nuances, Agonies, adventures, crises.... Some are listening, some are yawning, Some are dreaming, some are laughing, Some are sipping ices ... others Whisper longings soft and languid.... Nodding in the breeze, carnations, Long-stemmed white carnations, image Butterflies that swarm in sunlight, While a black and long-haired spaniel Barks astonished at a peacock....
