Women Before A Shop
The gew-gaws of false amber and false turquoise attract them.
'Like to like nature': these agglutinous yellows!

Coda
O My songs,
Why do you look so eagerly and so curiously into
people's faces,
Will you find your lost dead among them?

Alba
As cool as the pale wet leaves
Tof lily-of-the-valley
She lay beside me in the dawn.

Pagani’s, November 8
Suddenly discovering in the eyes of the very beautiful
Normande cocotte
The eyes of the very learned British Museum assistant.

Causa
I join these words for four people,
Some others may overhear them,
O world, I am sorry for you,
You do not know these four people.

April
Three spirits came to me
And drew me apart
To where the olive boughs
Lay stripped upon the ground:
Pale carnage beneath bright mist.

ßìÝñññù (Greek title)
Thy soul
Grown delicate with satieties,
Atthis.
O Atthis,
I long for thy lips.
I long for thy narrow breasts,
Thou restless, ungathered.

An Object
This thing, that hath a code and not a core,
Hath set acquaintance where might be affections,
And nothing now
Disturbeth his reflections.

The Patterns
Erinna is a model parent,
Her children have never discovered her adulteries.
Lalage is also a model parent,
Her offspring are fat and happy.

Society
The family position was waning,
And on this account the little Aurelia,
Who had laughed on eighteen summers,
Now bears the palsied contact of Phidippus.
