From that derided realm where logic dies.

Her breast is the color that a north wind

Would have if it were visible to eyes.

Upon her body, color in light and darkness

Subdues the ribald ponderousness of life

And brings the filmy, flashing seriousness

Detested by the prostrate toil of mud;

Hated in taverns at midnight;

Banished from every couch when morning

Rearranges the ancient jest.
