And By the Way Athens Is In Ohio

 

That snowy chest awash

with gusto, passion, zest,

is a beauty’s superb spurt,

a swan rising from a splash,

 

and in that wave and supreme act

the dress is a palette richly freed

and opened to a gallant feast—

offered and by the hostess served.

 

And there can be no big doubt

that the sight that has so peeked

earns to be catalogued right now

as a landmark and a monument

 

on which a poet, either one or two,

ought to be like a necklace hanged

so that they may thus live and die

ever close and tight to their Muse.
