Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Flimflam: Society Girl Flimflam has lived. The glorious girl is dead The florist and the keeper of the hearse Have shrined her sleep and garlanded her head For her last function. Be none heard to curse. But the torch-bearing maker of the verse, Extol the passing ship, once fraught with sweets, That with sweet-giving earth must now commerce And bear their viewless tides with ghostly fleets. Pale friend, surviving friendship recollects The warmth which your unanswering hand rejects, Your smile´s caprice, the satire in your eye, Your instant pout, the feminine effects, Your tiny voice, from which the wit would fly, And love that rued till you forsook the day, Stopped your heart´s music and in silence lay. No more, in life´s propinquity found equal, Shall we explain the world which gave us place; Yet shall these margins frame no weeping sequel Unto a friendship greater than love´s grace. Content to die, she turned her lessening face From the rant laughters of the fools´ emprise; Had laughed with them, and when she illed apace, Smiled with her lips and suffered with her eyes. Rare spirit, not in painful days I paint her, But in the spritesome life she lived acquaint her. Songs wrote she, of wee men in little ways - Little, and cannot saint nor help unsaint her. Not strategic with passion´s makeshift phrase, She wrote; for when with sweet occasion prest, She took her pen and quickly all confessed.
