Les Millwin

14 lines
Ezra Pound·1885–1972
he little Millwins attend the Russian Ballet.The mauve and greenish souls of the little MillwinsWere seen lying along the upper seatsLike so many unused boas. The turbulent and undisciplined host of art students--The rigorous deputation from “Slade”--Was before them.With arms exalted, with fore-armsCrossed in great futuristic X’s, the art studentsExulted, they beheld the splendours of _Cleopatra_. And the little Millwins beheld these things;With their large and anæmic eyes they looked out upon this configuration. Let us therefore mention the fact,For it seems to us worthy of record.
