"O east is east, and west is west

And never the twain shall meet."

And the dance of Spain is one of the twain

To the English Man in the Street.

We love the trick of the lofty kick

And the muscular display

Of the nymph who has leapt at a muslin hoop

And stopp'd in her flight half-way.

A plain, blunt girl in the stormy swirl
