I have seen the Virginin an appletree at ChartresAnd Saint Joan burnat the Bella Union.I have seen giraffes in junglejimstheir necks like lovewound around the iron circumstancesof the world.I have seen the Venus Aphroditearmless in her drafty corridor.I have heard a siren singat One Fifth Avenue.I have seen the White Goddess dancingin the Rue des Beaux Artson the Fourteenth of Julyand the Beautiful Dame Without Mercypicking her nose in Chumley's.
