Since fifty girls made one white elephant."

So with the fifty flowers which shapes and hues

Blent, as I tell, and made one fast yet loose

Mixture of beauties, composite, distinct

No less in each combining flower that linked

With flower to form a fit environment

For—whom might be the painter's heart's intent

Thus, in the midst enhaloed, to enshrine?

"This glory-guarded middle space—is mine?

For me to fill?"
