And apples like a film of virgin’s breath,

Strange berries, (you would think they bleed to death!)

Piled pappy plums opaquely amethyst,

Pink furry peaches like a morning mist,

Green mangoes, mellow apricots of gold,

Figs puffed and oozy, melons crystal-cold,

Red mammals of persimmon from the South

And curious pears that glitter in the mouth,

’Mid Tyrian silk, soft laughter, drapery

Of fine-spun damask gleam white napery
