My soul shall be stripped and buttonless—it shall dwell in a naked tree!
Aline Kilmer
(With a certain aloofness.)
ADMIRATION
Kenton's arrogant eyes watch the Widdemer pear-tree,
His thistle-down-footed sister puts out her tongue at him....
Kenton, what do you see? That yonder is only a bare tree;
Come, carry Deborah home; she is gossamer-light and slim.
